In the country
 
 That forms in the orchard swell
 
 With oranges and peaches
 
 A little bit of truth as well
 
  
  In the city
 
 Politicians beat they're drum
 
 All the suits come a runnin
 
 It's our degeneration
  
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
  
 
 In the country
 
 Everybody thinks we're dumb
 
 We built the fire
 
 Why'd you come and get you some
  
 
 In the city
 
 Skyscrapers touch the sky
 
 What's the use in being so high
 
 When it's only gonna bring you down
  
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
  
 
 In the country
 
 Stars shine brighter
 
 Than in the city
 
 In the country
 
 In the country
  
 
 In the city
 
 Turn on the radio
 
 Only leaves me down with the question
 
 What happened to our generation?
  
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
 
 Life marches on
