In the morning we built the In the afternoon walked its streets saw us leaving
We wandered through our days as if they would end All of us imagined we had endless time to We saw the crossroads and small attention gave To on the journey from the cradle to the grave, cradle to the grave, to the grave
Did you learn to dream in the dreams in the afternoon? Wait without in the evening?
Did you stand in the traces and let 'em feed you lies? Did you trail behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes? Did you kiss the foot that you, did you thank them for scorn? Did you ask for forgiveness for the act of being born, act of born, act of being born?
Did you the face of the city? any change in the world you found? Or did you all the warnings?
Did you read the trespass notices, did you keep off the Did you shuffle up the pavements just to let betters pass? Did you learn to keep your mouth shut, were you but never heard? Did you learn to be obedient and to at a word, to at a word, jump to at a word?
Did you demand any The who and the what and the reason Did you ever question the
Did you stand and let 'em choose while you took second best? Did you let 'em skim the cream off and give to you the Did you settle for the and did you think it right To let 'em rob you right and left and never a fight, make a fight, never make a fight?
What did you in the morning? How much did you in the afternoon? Were you content in the
Did they teach you how to question when you were at the Did the factory help you, were you the maker or the Did the place where you living enrich your life and then Did you reach some understanding of all your men, all your men, all your fellow men?
