Lyrics

Wandering through the charter'd city space
Controlling all my movements as I face
Signs of misery and woe (oh)
The vision ain't so pretty from down below
They watching us up there
Blood in their hands
Everything I see I wish I didn't understand
And it goes 'round and around and around
It never ends
In the middle of the night
Here the man-made manacles
Sounding more and more cynical
Whatever happened to our dreams
Can it be true
Here the man-made manacles
Sounding more and more cynical
Whatever happened to our dreams
This can't be true
Even the river don't flow in its own direction
They numb inside that's why they don't feel nothing
Trapped between the buildings and the sky
They say time is money
You better run run run like the speed of a bullet
They're not afraid to pull it (yeah yeah)
Mixed among the ones who have nowhere to go
They seem more alive than the ones with the dough
Singing and dancing, putting on a show
Clutching his briefcase, walking with the flow
No time for creativity
And it goes 'round and around and around
It never ends
Everybody walking 'round like they're dehumanized
why, I, I, I see no life in their eyes
It pains me, there's nothing really I can do
Here the man-made manacles
Sounding more and more cynical
Whatever happened to our dreams
Can it be true
Here the man-made manacles
Sounding more and more cynical
Whatever happened to our dreams
This can't be true
(There must be more to life than this)
(The innocent lose their patience)
(Under the spell we live in)
This can't be true
No this can't be true
There must be more to life than this
The innocent lose their patience
Under the spell we live in
I wish I could make a difference
There must be more to life than this
