Big City
 2007 Grant Maloy Smith

Well, there's blood on the streets
where kings were cut down
and vacant-eyed bankers
with factual frowns
the hum of the turnstiles
the heartbeats of millions in line

So there go the bullies
who push and who shout
and here are the rest of us
down but not out
spending our savings
and living one day at a time
in the most beautiful place in the world
in our big, big city

Somebody's holding our fate
in the palm of his hands
then he leans out and laughs
and he just drives away

So turn on the TV
and tune out the day
the new breed of heroes
are king for a day
the smell of the sidewalks
the voice that tell us we're home
in the most beautiful place in the world --

i was raised on the land
by a slow-moving stream
with grass stains
and band-aids
on both of my knees
we ran through the daylight
and slept in the strong arms of peace

i was so unaware
in my cozy cocoon
that the world out my window
would vanish so soon
i picked up my feet
and blinked back the tears from my eyes

Well, there's blood on the streets
where kings were cut down
and vacant-eyed bankers
with factual frowns
the hum of the turnstiles
the heartbeats of millions in line

So there go the bullies
who push and who shout
and here are the rest of us
down, but not out
spending our savings
and living one day at a time
in the most beautiful place in the world
in our big, beautiful city
