No painted trains on the underground No kids with spray cans jumping over fences All the suits and the ties all march in a straight lineDeafening the sound of the helpless It′s a city of a thousand heartbeats No room for another soul Same building on a different street But nobody knows Tear it down 'til it′s gone All you ever, all you ever wanted Kill the lights, while they're on Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted? Stand in a line for a hole in the wall 'Cause people still need cash to buy their freedom Moving forward, walking back Everyone is falling but we don′t see them A day away from a stroke of bad luck Money′s slipping right through the cracks It's a shame how we don′t know What we really have Tear it down 'til it′s gone All you ever, all you ever wanted Kill the lights, while they're on Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted? Is it all you ever wanted? Mine′s the city with a thousand heartbeats We're just trying to keep a dream alive New sign on an old street I don't recognise Tear it down ′til it′s gone All you ever, all you ever wanted Kill the lights, while they're on Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted? Is it all you ever wanted?
