Citizen Fish - Wet Cement

We went up to the building site / saw the building and the concrete piles / and
watched them all working / building muscles and no-one smiled. We stood there and
watched them / staring back in complete contempt. I'm building a building / signed
his name in the wet cement. We walked through the cemetery / social tombstones in
black and grey / someone had a bunch of flowers / talking sentiments felt okay. We
stood in the shadows / feeling it was that time of day / when everything gloomy
hits the light as it fades away. We came to conclusions / knew that life was a
paradox / so many illusions / kept alive till the old ones dropped. Demolishing
lifestyles / building up all the tower blocks. Life is so sacred / why spend it all
in a man-made box? We stared at the empty shells / passed a smile and then cried a lot
while all this was passing by / no one stopped to see what they've got. They
took it for granted / used the space for a parking lot. We'll kick off the real
world / allocating the beauty spots. Industrial death camps / man made something
and then forgot. Knew what it should look like / trod on nature and said "why
not?" But you cannot replace it / just take a photo and watch it rot. And bury
the feeling / 'til no-one knows what it really meant. Got caught in a landslide
and left a name in the wet cement.
