Madelyn Read - Concrete Country

In Concrete Country the people run wild
Belly of a beast, eyes like a child
The skyline's grinning silhouette
Chews as much as it can get

The highway begins its crawl
Through the maze of urban sprawl
Pausing once for an ambulance howl
Then carrying forth in rubber growl

Where do you find yourself in the forest or the street?
What makes a person choose to turn themselves to green?

Build it up and tear it down
Searching for a broken crown
The wilderness ain't really what it seems
This is Concrete Country
This is Concrete Country

Coyote earns a living wage
Like she's done through every age
Picking up where she can
And running free across the land

Down alleyways and avenues
Creatures walk with eyes on you
But as the crows fly out at dawn
They see your face and then they're gone

Where do you find yourself in the forest or the street?
What makes a person choose to turn themselves to green?

Build it up and tear it down
Searching for a broken crown
The wilderness ain't really what it seems
This is Concrete Country
This is Concrete Country

And what of all the others who
Who keep the peace and form the glue
What good will the money make
If we live for human's sake?

Where do you find yourself in the forest or the street?
What makes a person choose to turn themselves to green?

Build it up and tear it down
Searching for a broken crown
The wilderness ain't really what it seems

If you build it up and you tear it down
And if you find that broken crown
Will the wilderness be really what you need?
This is Concrete Country
