This tired city was somebody's dream 
A billboard horizon as black as they seem 
A four level highway across the land 
We're building a home for the family of man 
Prices are rising 
The devil's to pay, 
Moving the mountains that got in the way, 
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan, deciding the fate of the family of man, 
And it's so hard whatever are we coming to, 
Yes it's so hard with so little time, 
And so much to do 
Memories replacing the loves that are lost 
Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed 
Factories built where the rivers ran - 
Time's running out for the family of man 
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,,,
