  • No painted trains on the underground
    No kids with spray cans jumping over fences
    All the suits and the ties all march in a straight line
    Deafening the sound of the helpless

    It's a city of a thousand heartbeats
    No room for another soul
    The same building on a different street
    But nobody knows

    Tear it down 'til it's gone
    All you ever, all you ever wanted
    Kill the lights while they're on
    Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?

    Stand in a line for the hole in the wall
    'Cause people still need cash to buy their freedom
    Moving forward, walking back
    Everyone is falling, but we don't see them

    A day away from a stroke of bad luck
    Money's slipping right through the cracks
    It's a shame how we don't know
    What we really have

    Tear it down 'til it's gone
    All you ever, all you ever wanted
    Kill the lights while they're on
    Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?

    Is it all you ever wanted?

    Mine's a city with a thousand heartbeats
    But we're just tryna keep a dream alive
    New sign on an old street
    I don't recognize

    Tear it down 'til it's gone
    All you ever, all you ever wanted
    Kill the lights while they're on
    Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
    Is it all you ever wanted? Writer/s: Gerald Eaton, Michael Elizondo
