In the morning we built the city | |
In the afternoon walked through its streets | |
Evening saw us leaving | |
We wandered through our days as if they would never end | |
All of us imagined we had endless time to spend | |
We hardly saw the crossroads and small attention gave | |
To the landmarks on the journey from the cradle to the grave | |
Cradle to the grave, cradle to the grave | |
Did you learn to dream in the morning? | |
Abandon dreams in the afternoon? | |
Wait without a hope in the evening? | |
Did you stand there in the traces and let them feed you lies? | |
Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes? | |
Did you kiss the foot that kicked you? Did you thank them for their scorn? | |
Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born? | |
Act of being born, act of being born | |
Did you alter the face of the city? | |
Make any change in the world you found? | |
Or did you observe all the warning? | |
Did you read the trespass notice? Did you keep off the grass? | |
Did you shuffle off the pavement just to let your betters pass? | |
Did you learn to keep your mouth shut? Were you seen and never heard? | |
Did you learn to be obedient and jump to at a word? | |
Jump to at a word, jump to at a word | |
And did you ever demand any answer? | |
The who and the what and the reason why | |
And did you ever question the setup? | |
And did you stand aside and let them choose while you took second best? | |
Did you let them skin the cream off and then give to you the rest? | |
Did you settle for the shoddy? And did you think it right | |
To let them rob you right and left and never make a fight? | |
And never make a fight, never make a fight | |
What did you learn in the morning? | |
How much did you know in the afternoon? | |
Were you content in the evening? | |
And did they teach you how to question when you were at the school? | |
Did the factory help you grow? Were you the maker or the tool? | |
Did the place where you were living enrich your life and then? | |
Did you mix among the standing of all your fellow men? | |
All your fellow men, all your fellow men, all your fellow men |
