Breaking rocks all day on the avenue

its hard to unearth anything thats true

soon I am gonna loose these rags and run

Returning to the wild where I'm from

There's miles of stone, jack hammer in my hand

There's compromises, I cant comprehend

soon I am gonna drop this jack and run

Returning to the wild where I'm from

Returning to the wild where I'm from

Between the bricks you'll hear the children play

Their calaces get harder day by day

Between the cracks you'll notice where I've gone

Returning to the wild, where I belong

Soon I am gonna loose these rags and run

Returning to the wild, where I'm from

Returning to the wild, where I'm from
