In the country that forms in the orchard swell   With oranges and peaches a little bit of truth as well   In the city politicians beat their drum   All the suits come a runnin' it's our degeneration      Life marches on   Life marches on   Life marches on      In the country everybody thinks we're dumb   We built the fire, why'd you come and get you some   In the city skyscrapers touch the sky   What's the use in being so higher when it's only gonna bring you down      Life marches on   Life marches on   Life marches on      In the country stars shine brighter than in the city   In the country, in the country      In the city I turn on the radio   Only leaves me down with the question   What happened to our generation?      Life marches on   Life marches on   Life marches on, yeah, yeah   Life marches on, yeah   Life marches on   Life marches on   Life marches on   Life marches on
