Oh, the lights down in the city
They shine all through the night
Where the people come and the people go
And the traffic is an endless flow
And it just keeps right on rolling till daylight

And now the darkness of the future
Comes sliding into sight
And I don’t know what’s gone wrong
But I wish they’d put it right
Coz I’m blinded by the sight
Of tomorrow’s plight

And I don’t wanna duck and dive
And I don’t wanna run like a thief
And I don’t want to stalk the streets
In search of some relief
And I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief

We know some people have this world tied up
But they’re not telling you and me
They’ve bought up every scrap of land
And every company
And they’re charging you and me,
An enormous fee

Some say they’ve got the answers
Ooh, I doubt if they really see
There may be a few, who’ve got some view
But if you’re asking me, all I’ve got to say is,
I think you’d better wait and see

And I don’t wanna duck and dive
And I don’t wanna run like a thief
And I don’t want to stalk the streets
In search of some relief
And I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief

Oh, the lights down in the city
They shine all through the night
Where the people come & the people go
And the traffic is an endless flow
And it just keeps right on rolling till daylight

And now the darkness of the future
Comes sliding into view
And I don’t know what’s gone wrong
And I don’t know what to do
And I’m crippled by the nature
Of tomorrow’s view

And I don’t wanna duck and dive
And I don’t wanna run like a thief
And I don’t want to stalk the streets
In search of some relief
And I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief

No I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief

Oh, I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief

No I don’t wanna have to face
Tomorrow’s grief . . . . . .
