In the city the heart still whispers   Flaking metal a silent witness   There's chemical fields and cathode clouds   The milky way is emasculated as exhaust fans      And smart cards shrink wrap the colored air   And send it coughing to eternity   We can see the bright light but we can't reach it   We are not afraid enough to call   Go back wrong way, you cannot stay   You cannot live here      Concrete, you don't free my soul      In the city the sound is biting   Cement fingers they are clutching   The emissary of trash decorates the way   No wild acres you can see, yearning to breathe      Concrete you don't free my soul      Blackened hands and heart of steel   No wish to consume, embellish, discard and expire      Concrete you don't free my soul      Concrete you don't free my soul
