Arcade Fire - City With No Children Lyrics

Artist: Arcade Fire

Album: The Suburbs

Genre: Rock

The summer that I broke my arm
I waited for your letter
I had no feelings for you now
Now that I know you're better

I wish that I could've loved you then
Before our age was through
And before a world war does with us
Whatever it will do

Dreamt I drove home to Houston
On a highway that was underground
There was no light that we could see
As we listened to the sound of the engine failing

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin
By a millionaire inside of a private prison

You never trust a millionaire
Quoting the sermon on the mount
I used to think I was not like them
But I'm beginning to have my doubts
My doubts about it

When you're hiding underground
The rain can't get you wet
But do you think your righteousness could pay the interest on your debts?
I have my doubts about it.

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin
By a millionaire inside of a private prison

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin
By and by as I hide inside my private prison
