In a time when mother earth

Gets laid by father concrete

All the trees and all the plants

Will have gone there's no comeback

Concrete chokes our pleasant lands

Lying there so cold 'n' dead

Now we stand in a concrete desert

With no chance to survive

Racing through the concrete jungle

Lookin' for a better place to live

Concrete, concrete grey 'n' dead

Get back to your fountainhead

Lead us to a last island

Where we can live our days

Where we're safe and feel the glory

That once ruled all the world

Where we're safe to find conviction

To start another life

To an island that will save us

Where the last trees have survived

Concrete product of illusion jungle

Concrete downfall of the human race jungle

The human race is in decline concrete takes revenge

Skyscrapers high 'n' proud reaching to the skies

Empty now threaten to break down

Time's healing power is the only cure we all must

Pray for

Human race wake up now

Think of what has to be done
