Less Cities, More Moving People

Album: Phantoms (1984)

  • Another home falls by the wayside
    A few old cushions stuffed with pride
    A hand is shaking from the rubble
    This is spirit still alive

    A servant bares his occupation
    Breaks his back just growing old
    Never mind his views were taken
    Just saw by the rules of old

    Less cities, more moving people
    Rushing out with pride
    Less cities, more moving people
    These hands that once were tied

    A church bell rang for the occasion
    The average man learns what's in store
    Now he sees where life was taken
    Fighting heat, but growing cold

    Less cities, more moving people
    Rushing out with pride
    Less cities, more moving people
    Hands that once were tied

    Is this what we call education?
    Just watch the wheel of time revolve
    But why is this not what I'm thinking?
    It's just one mind and the unknown

    Less cities, more moving people
    Rushing out with pride
    Less cities, more moving people
    Who just forgot their lives

    Less cities, more moving people
    Rushing out with pride
    Less cities, more moving people
    Who just forgot their lives
