J Street

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
