Well you roll on roads   over fresh green grass
         Re        Sol         Re       Sol
For your lorryloads   pumping petrol gas
        Re            Sol      
And you make them long
       Re              Sol
and you make them tough
         Do              Sol 
But they just go on and on,

When you crack the sky,  scrapers fill the air

Will you keep on building higher
                     Re              Sol
'til there's no more room up there?

Will you make us laugh,  will you make us cry?
