As Our Town Becomes a City

It was dark when I woke up
The city lights reflect off the snow in the yard
You can see where the kids left their marks
Doesn’t anybody want to thrive
Doesn’t anybody want to find
A place to call home
A place to call home
You treat the world like dirt
Let’s take a trip to the moon
Where we can watch the Earth self-destruct
Because of you
Doesn’t anybody want to thrive
Doesn’t anybody want to find
A place to call home
A place to call home
You can watch your friends grow
Observe the mistakes they make
We’ve got to get out of this town
Because the streets they fill, and the creeks are overflowing
And the hustle and bustle will drive you mad
After 30 years of driving in traffic
As our town becomes a city, yeah
As our town becomes a city, yeah
As our town becomes a city, yeah
As our town becomes a city, yeah
As our town becomes a city, a city, yeah
You can watch your friends grow
Observe the mistakes they make
We’ve got to get out of this town
Because the streets they fill, and the creeks are overflowing
And the hustle and bustle will drive you mad
After 30 years of driving in traffic
As our town becomes a city
