This tired city
was somebody's dream
Billboard horizon
as black as they seem
A four-level highway
across the land
We're building a home for
the family of man
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Prices are rising
The devil's to pay
Movin' the mountain
that got in the way
Prayer books and meetings
to find a plan
Deciding the fate of
the family of man
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
So hard
Whatever are we comin' to
Yes it's so hard
With so little time
And so much to do
Memories replacing
the loves that we lost
Burning our bridges
as soon as they're crossed
Factories built where
the rivers ran
Time's runnin' out for
the family of man
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
Family of man
So hard
Family of man
So hard
Family of man
So hard
Family of man
So hard
Family of man
