Concrete Jungle
[Verse 1]
Streets of Gray beneath my feet
Buildings blocking out the sun
Million faces that I'll never meet
But I'm connected to no one
Traffic lights tell me when to move
Sirens wailing through the night
In this maze of steel and glass
I've forgotten how to fight
[Chorus]
In the concrete jungle
Where the wild hearts die
In the concrete jungle
Underneath a plastic sky
We're animals in cages
That we built with our own hands
In the concrete jungle
Where nobody understands
[Verse 2]
Neon gods light up the darkness
Selling happiness by the hour
While we shuffle through the madness
Trading souls for fleeting power
Elevators full of strangers
Going up but feeling down
In this vertical prison
We call our hometown
[Chorus]
In the concrete jungle
Where the wild hearts die
In the concrete jungle
Underneath a plastic sky
We're animals in cages
That we built with our own hands
In the concrete jungle
Where nobody understands
[Bridge]
Can you hear the forest calling?
Can you smell the ocean breeze?
Can you feel your heart still beating
Underneath these concrete trees?
[Verse 3]
Children playing on the pavement
Never saw a real sunrise
Dreams get buried under payments
Hope gets lost in compromise
But somewhere past the city limits
Stars still shine in country skies
Maybe we could start again
If we could just remember why
[Final Chorus]
Leave the concrete jungle
Let the wild heart fly
Leave the concrete jungle
Underneath a real blue sky
Break free from the cages
That we built with our own hands
Leave the concrete jungle
Where love still understands
