J Street Songtext
von Tracer

Decreed from up on high, this city needs new life
So we′re tearing it all down
And when the dozing's finished we′ll have a brand new town
With brand new monuments to excess
Cathedrals of consumer culture shining through the night
As we lie around on your front lawn
Under midnight skies turned orange by sodium vapor lights


But no one seems to realize
When no one gets involved
The same old problems are never solved
And only the architecture evolves

Were the days of our youth so good, or are these times so bad
That you tell me they were the best you've ever had
I don't know how much longer we can go on
With you living in the past
While the future slips right through your hands
