I'm surrounded by the concrete walls
I'm beginning to feel I'm only two feet tall
This city's too big big and the people are cold
I try to reach out to the strangers around
They turn away, not even hearing my sound
Though I'm in a crowd, I'm always walking alone
I won't make it, no I'll never last
In this world of cold steel and glass
Life's a race that's being run too fast
I can get no peace, can't get no love
Can't get no air, I'm living in a shroud
I tell you this place is like a burial ground
I'm really worn out and I'm ready to fall
The pressure is rising, can't take it no more
I wanna get out, just wanna go home
I won't make it, no I'll never last
In this world of cold steel and glass
Love is dyin' but they don't seem to see
I won't make it, no I'll never last
In this world of cold steel and glass
