Deep in the city, the glass buildings
Monuments of vanity
They’re not pretty, they’re not ugly
They just reflect what we see

Oh come and let me show you the glory of greed
Where people take everything they don’t need

We all live here together
Under the same blue sky
But if you could buy it, I know you’d rent it
So we’ll enjoy for a while
And make advertising logos from the clouds
You’d charge a modest admission for the crowds

I have a place in the valley, I like to go there sometimes
I don’t own it, I don’t rent it
I’ll just stay for a while
Oh come and let me show you the glory of greed
Where people take everything they don’t need
