Concrete Times - Down By Law[00:00:01]
I remember a time when there was nothing but trees and green grass[00:00:07]
Now I look around in concrete times and stay behind the glass[00:00:12]
Crowds of people but I'm all alone staring at the bill for the telephone[00:00:18]
Sometimes I miss those days when the world was green and growing[00:00:29]
But there's too many people now too mean and too knowing[00:00:35]
They say you've got to be hard in a hard world[00:00:41]
Say goodbye to suburban boys 'cause urban joy is hard to find[00:00:46]
What you gonna do It's all around you[00:00:53]
Sounds of the street start to surround you[00:00:56]
What you gonna do in concrete times [00:00:58]
Now I know these memories are just my naivety[00:01:06]
And I know that boyhood's gone and this is where you stay[00:01:11]
But so much has changed that I can see[00:01:17]
Now I hear sirens and turn up the TV[00:01:22]
I remember knowing every house and every name on our street[00:01:28]
Now I don't even know our next door neighbors[00:01:34]
Just the sound of their feet[00:01:38]
'Cause your eyes are more open the older you get[00:01:40]
But the wide eyes of childhood are gone forever you see more and less[00:01:45]
What you gonna do It's all around you[00:01:52]
Sounds of the street start to surround you[00:01:55]
What you gonna do in concrete times [00:01:57]
And school plays have been replaced[00:02:15]
And too many friends have joined the race[00:02:18]
The newspaper brings sad news through my door[00:02:20]
Acceptance and gritted teeth when you walk outside at night[00:02:24]
Guns and knives replaced the schoolyard fight[00:02:28]
Crowds of people but I'm all alone in concrete times[00:02:55]
This is my home[00:03:03]
And the street lights blinking on and on keep me up for hours[00:03:06]
Along with my thoughts in a pretty concrete tower[00:03:11]
What you gonna do It's all around you[00:03:18]
Sounds of the street start to surround you[00:03:21]
What you gonna do in concrete times [00:03:23]
What you gonna do It's all around you[00:03:30]
Sounds of the street start to surround you[00:03:33]
What you gonna do in concrete times[00:03:35]
