Do you want to build a city around us?
Fill it with garden and buildings and parks,
then sit among dozens of fields of roses
and live under the grandest of trees and shade.
Strip our city of unnecessary humans,
leave it so bare, so clean, so plain.
Throttle and torture the animals that ruin,
chase away all the evil within.
We'll build a perfect city around us
Just so we can watch it burn

Throttle and torture the animals that ruin,
chase away all the evil within.
We'll build a perfect city around us
Just so we can watch it burn
