Concrete

from Shelters one by Jelena Ciric

/

lyrics

Concrete goals, concrete streets,
concrete sleep in concrete sheets.
Concrete tasks to do at concrete hours,
concrete plans made in concrete towers.

Concrete lets you build so high,
concrete can block out the sky,
it is undeniable, concrete is reliable.

Concrete playgrounds, concrete games,
concrete homes in concrete frames.
Concrete numbers on a screen.
Concrete fun in limousines.

Concrete lets you build so high,
concrete can block out the sky,
it is undeniable, concrete is reliable.

So down with flowers, down with birds, down with love in general.
Down with starts and butterflies and everything ephemeral.

Melt ’em down, mix ’em well, toss them in a mould:
things are only worth as much as the weight that they can hold.

In a battle where you must face triumph or defeat
you’d be silly not to bet your money on…
