Big City - Operation Ivy

Concrete and chaos rise up

Spiderweb across the land

Like a giant rash

Forests lie down below

Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash

Some people here got it real good

Cuz the glass towers bring prosperity

Other people starve in the street

Because concrete knows no sympathy

Big city big city big city

Big city big city big city

Big city its a wishing well

Big city its a living hell

This town its f**king insane

How one will starve and another will gain

Like a giant mechanical brain

And the people are cells and the streets are veins

It thinks only of itself

A thousand limbs crawling as it expands and grows

And still the concrete sits there

Sits there stark gray and cold

Big city big city big city

Big city big city big city

Big city its a wishing well

Big city its a living hell

And I think I wanna be a brick layer

So I can put another brick in the wall

Its sanitary rational happy and sane

Growing like a flower to surround us all

Big city big city big city

Big city big city big city

Big city its a wishing well

Big city its a living hell

Big city big city big city

Big city big city big city

Big city its a wishing well

Big city its a living hell
