《Concrete Times》歌词

[00:00:01] Concrete Times - Down By Law

[00:00:07] I remember a time when there was nothing but trees and green grass

[00:00:12] Now I look around in concrete times and stay behind the glass

[00:00:18] Crowds of people but I'm all alone staring at the bill for the telephone

[00:00:29] Sometimes I miss those days when the world was green and growing

[00:00:35] But there's too many people now too mean and too knowing

[00:00:41] They say you've got to be hard in a hard world

[00:00:46] Say goodbye to suburban boys 'cause urban joy is hard to find

[00:00:53] What you gonna do It's all around you

[00:00:56] Sounds of the street start to surround you

[00:00:58] What you gonna do in concrete times

[00:01:06] Now I know these memories are just my naivety

[00:01:11] And I know that boyhood's gone and this is where you stay

[00:01:17] But so much has changed that I can see

[00:01:22] Now I hear sirens and turn up the TV

[00:01:28] I remember knowing every house and every name on our street

[00:01:34] Now I don't even know our next door neighbors

[00:01:38] Just the sound of their feet

[00:01:40] 'Cause your eyes are more open the older you get

[00:01:45] But the wide eyes of childhood are gone forever you see more and less

[00:01:52] What you gonna do It's all around you

[00:01:55] Sounds of the street start to surround you

[00:01:57] What you gonna do in concrete times

[00:02:15] And school plays have been replaced

[00:02:18] And too many friends have joined the race

[00:02:20] The newspaper brings sad news through my door

[00:02:24] Acceptance and gritted teeth when you walk outside at night

[00:02:28] Guns and knives replaced the schoolyard fight

[00:02:55] Crowds of people but I'm all alone in concrete times

[00:03:03] This is my home

[00:03:06] And the street lights blinking on and on keep me up for hours

[00:03:11] Along with my thoughts in a pretty concrete tower

[00:03:18] What you gonna do It's all around you

[00:03:21] Sounds of the street start to surround you

[00:03:23] What you gonna do in concrete times

[00:03:30] What you gonna do It's all around you

[00:03:33] Sounds of the street start to surround you

[00:03:35] What you gonna do in concrete times
