I'm dreaming of a city
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
There's a million ways, to make things work out
Oh, what a day that was
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
And the light came down
We're goin' boom boom boom, and that's the way we live
You feel like talking to someone
And starts a chain reaction
He's got rings on his fingers
I put the wheels in motion
We're goin' boom boom boom, and that's the way we live
He's makin' shapes with his hands
We're goin' boom boom boom, and that's the way we live
And then he walks up, up to the throne
I'm startin' over in another place
Roaming in the streets
And they're roundin' 'em up
And they're enjoying themselves
They're movin' forward and backwards
Oh, and then we let it fall
Who know the difference between right and wrong
It was my own invention
And don't choo dare speak up
Oh, and then we let it fall
We're goin' boom boom boom, and that's the way we live
And they have nothing left to eat
And don't choo dare sit down
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
Oh, what a day that was
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Start an electrical storm
Oh, a day that was
And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all
Oh, what a day that was
Oh, who could've asked for more?
Well, there are 50,000 beggars
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
An' I'm startin' over
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
And they have lost all their possessions
Oh, that's the way it goes
There's a million ways, to get things done
Go pull a fire alarm, I can say
You feel like going home
Moving in every direction
From all over town
And don't choo dare sit back
And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all
A time for big decisions
Lemme tell you a story
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Down come a bolt of lightning
They're movin' backwards and front
Well, I'm going right through
A big chief with a golden crown
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
