The cloud bed bred and settled down To drown a metalworking town But don't leave your tools to rust There's gold still in the dust We're gonna build a tower upon An unambitious Babylon A thousand hands to help And the tower builds itself Won't you raise your weary arms for me? Just one more story and I'm sure we will finally see Beyond the sky The economy, economy, economy of you and I The brakeless train will shed its wheels To get a taste of how it feels With stones from roman roads And bricks picked out our homes No one likes the squealing sound Of wheels and axles gearing down So it's keeping up the pace for now You gotta keep the pace somehow Won't you raise your weary arms for me? Just one more story and I'm sure we will finally see Beyond the sky The economy, economy, economy of you and I I'm weak, I'm tired and all to hear Is be inspired or disappear Oh show me what you're worth Show me fit to work So they tore up my floors, they used the pine For stories maybe you could climb Cause there's nothing else you knew But to hustle as they hustled you Won't you raise your weary arms for me? Just one more story and I'm sure we will finally see Beyond the sky The economy, economy, economy of you and I Ravenous wolves in cavernous halls Cinking a glass as the chandlier falls Drinking to your health Well when they enforce a body like yours Collapse on their stairways and bleed on their floors Cause you are more than wealth Well nothing builds itself Won't you raise your weary arms for me? Just one more story and I'm sure we will finally see Beyond the sky The economy, economy, economy of you and I In the throes of productivity I'm beaten, I'm breaking but maybe we'll finally see A clearer sky Economy, economy, economy of you and I
