Well I think i

Switch on summ

Get what you w

want, 'cause y
ou can get any
thing
[Chorus]
I know we've

[Verse]
Well you roll
on roads over
fresh green gr
ass
For your lorry
loads pumping
petrol gas
And you make t
hem long, and
you make them
tough
But they just
go on and on,
and it seems y
ou can't get o
ff
Oh, I know we'
ve come a long
way
We're changin
g day to day
But tell me,
where do the c

Well you've cr

scrapers fill

Will you keep
on building hi

Will you make

you make us c

Will you tell
us when to liv
e, will you te
ll us when to
die?
