Build The City Lyrics

Many years ago

There was a life

You couldn't know

There was a city by a bay

Where all the freaks

Came out to play

And the flower children

Sought to transcend and

No one thought much about

How it all would end

Now we know

That love may not conquer

Here we go

We've got to do it all again

Again

Angry voices and fakery

Manipulating your life style

Black site hidden technology

Your whole life stored away on file

Political slogans

That don't make sense

And AI generated

Nonsense

The rest is noise

And whether you know it

The choice is yours

Forever and always to be

Many years from now

We'll get it back

I don't know how

There'll be a city that is free

Where everyone

Can simply be

And the flower children

Will return and

This time we'll think about

How we won't let it burn

Since we knew

That love may not conquer

There we went

We went and did it all again

Here we go

Nice and slow

Here we go

We build it all again

Insistent voices that are not real

Manipulating your mood swings

Seal the borders and stop the steal

Garbage made out of crude things

Political grievance

That satisfies

And random algorithmic

Big lies

The rest is noise

And whether you know it

The choice is yours

Forever and always to be

Build the city

Make it pretty

Build the city

Again
