i watch the skyline change
over seamless days
from a topdeck view
from the barricades
where all the rudeboys and crooks
all wear their meanest looks
keeping the money making strictly off the books
[Chorus]
i watch the kids move in on the underground
with a taste of danger and the realest sound
i watch the yuppies buy in and try to capitalize
on the pains and joy of a furtive mind
tell me what to do today
working nine to five
i cannot live like that
because it seems like this city`s geared to breed workers
just to keep it alive
we get high
we get low
we confess what we know
after all it won`t be long till we forget about it all
amongst this urban debris
we learn to live like kings
and what else can we do
you`re lucky if you got someone that cares for you
and don`t try to fit in just assume that you do
lets get the full picture
your point of view
[Chorus]
this is the sound of a thousend dreams
impossible to over reach
not because we don`t ry but because we aren`t seen
and we don`t know the meaning of prosperity
