Silvio Rodriguez - Ojala lyrics

Concrete and chaos rise up

Spiderweb across the land

Like a giant rash

Forests lie down below

Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash

Some people here got it real good

Cuz the glass towers bring prosperity

Other people starve in the street

Because concrete knows no sympathy

Big city its a wishing well

Big city its a living hell

This town its fucking insane

How one will starve and another will gain

Like a giant mechanical brain

And the people are cells and the streets are veins

It thinks only of itself

A thousand limbs crawling as it expands and grows

And still the concrete sits there

Sits there stark grey and cold

And I think I wanna be a brick layer

So I can put another brick in the wall

Its sanitary rational happy and sane

Growing like a flower to surround us all
