So while the sun and sky dissolve with progress
We look for ways to feed our families

Here's another strip mall for the hungry tourists
A discord in the purest harmony
(Best made plans are burning down)
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)

Because the violent crimes and violent times
Will make a city much harder to live in
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
And we still try to carve out a living

Yeah, let them tax the air and buy the water
Sell the silence but all the art is free
(Best made plans are burning down)
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)

Well, we work for nothing to scratch that itch
Let the starving eat the rich, that's fine with me
(Best made plans are burning down)
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)

Because the violent crimes and violent times
Will make a city much harder to live in
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
And we still try to carve out a living

How did it fall?
How did it come to this?
How did it fall?
How did it come to this?

Because the violent crimes and violent times
Will make a city much harder to live in
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
And we still try to carve out a living

How did it fall?
How did it come to this?
How did it fall?
How did it come to this?
How did it fall?
How did it come to this?
