Inside the canyons of glass and towering steel The shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel The lights have changed from red to green And yes I've changed my mind I pick up the phone and tell someone "Just get off my line" Up on the corner, newsboys daily blues Of love and life and accidents and passing stranger's views The valet holds no heroes the dealer holds, he said Sun goes down, the lights come up The wheel turns in your head You make connections, you win elections That ain't gonna be enough 'Cause the city, is out of control Yeah, the city, is out of control It's the city, can't you hear it? Crying, out of control (Solo) Running out of time, you know it Put it on the line, it's loaded Fear erodes, hate explodes Can't hold back now, take your passion to the streets Inside the canyons of glass and towering steel The shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel The lights have changed from red to green And yes I've changed my mind I pick up the phone and tell someone "Just get off my line" Up on the corner, newsboys daily blues Of love and life and accidents and passing stranger's views The valet holds no heroes the dealer holds, he said Sun goes down, the lights come up The wheel turns in your head You make connections, you win elections That ain't gonna be enough 'Cause the city, is out of control Yeah, the city, cryin' out of control It's the city, can't you hear it? Crying, out of control City, out of control City, out of control
