No painted trains on the Underground
Know kids was breakin', jumpin' over fences
All the suits and the ties all march in a straight line
Deafening, the sound of the helpless

It's the city of a thousand heartbeats
No room for another soul
The same building on a different street
But nobody knows

Tear it down till it's gone
All you ever, all you ever wanted
Kill the lights, right or wrong
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?

Stand in the line for the hole in the wall
'Cause people still need cash to buy their freedom
Movin' forward, walkin' back
Everyone is fallin', but we don't see them

I didn't wait for my stroke of bad luck
Money slippin' right through the cracks
It's a shame how we don't know what we really have

Tear it down till it's gone
All you ever, all you ever wanted
Kill the lights, right or wrong
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?

Is it all you ever wanted?
A mighty city with a thousand heartbeats
But we're just tryna keep the dream alive
No sign on no street I don't recognise

Tear it down till it's gone
All you ever, all you ever wanted
Kill the lights, right or wrong
Is it all you ever, all you ever wanted?
Is it all you ever wanted?
