Lyrics
Man in the City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing alone, in the middle of the city
Man looks around him
He hardly recognises what he sees
Cause he' s a man from the past
Two thousand years ago
This was his home
Rivers used to run here
Birds used to fly around here
But now it is a different jungle
A concrete jungle
Chorus:
He' s a lonely man
In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly
Man' s own creation
Has become his worst enemy
Weaplons of destruction
Have brought about
Human extinction...wo...ho
Two thousand years ago
This was his home
But now it is
A different jungle
A concrete jungle
Chorus:
He' s a lonely man
In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly
