The sun sets in the west
A habit it hasn't quit quite yet
He never wanted part of the world
.tried not to ask for anything.
How will he ever start to fight the flow?
Whatever happened to 'nature always wins'?
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We'll never be pleased
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We'll never be pleased until the buildings fill the skylines
...until you learn to close your eyes.
Now try and step outside.
It's easy, let me show you.
My vision's blocked at every turn by fences made to hide behind
All that we've accomplished is a lack of human rights
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We'll never be pleased
We won't be brought down to our knees
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We'll never be pleased until the buildings fill the skylines
...until you learn to close your eyes,
shut the sound out,
TOUCH NOTHING!
Here's an idea...
(the first one's always free)
Here's an island filled with those who can't perceive.
Your concrete island.
Well I think you'll ruin it, brother.
That should give our mother the chance she needs
All she really needs is a chance to heal.
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We won't be pleased
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
We'll never be pleased
I hope you're happy, brother...
