The race for material gain.
The American dream.
Rome.
Egypt.
Babel.
Empire after empire.
To build bigger.
To own more.
Become someone.

Lyrics:
Concrete Jungle
A, G, F
Squares of green within this city’s grey walls
Reminiscent of the garden days
But on these trees there’s no fruit to be born
To please our sense, they’re mannequins’ for all
And through the glass that you are spending your days
In your pride to have the window
But what you see is the world in disgrace
F, G
You dream of the day, that you can escape
A, G, F
Escape from the concrete jungle
Living the lie in the year 6000
No past no future captive in this denial
But the Lord is near, He’s calling you out
A, G, F
The neon lights paint the cityscape gold
Far from the glory of the Father
But all these lights they won’t warm up your soul
F, G
Will you save your life, escape from it all?
A, G, F
Escape from the concrete jungle
Finding the truth in the year 6000
No longer slave or captive to this denial
For the Lord is near, He’s calling you out
Yet all these great structures, one greater than the next, remain empty in the eyes of the Lord.
