The sirens wail ^Bbthe engines^F roar,^BbA shadowed man just glances ^Faround, ^CA victim of ^Bblife's mindless^F toil,^CLies cold and ^Bbhelpless on the ^Fground.

The window dummies silent stare,Bear ^Bbwitness on the ^Fnight, ^CIf they could move,What ^Bbwould it prove',^FTo see them all take flight.

Instrumental:C |Bb |F |F |

The walls shout loud ^Bbwith angry ^Fwords,^BbThe people air their ^Fviews, T^Che poor can ^Bbscream but no-one ^Fhears,^CThe concrete ^Bbjungle sings the ^Fblues.

Chorus 2:

The window dummies silent stare,Bear ^Bbwitness on the ^Fnight, ^CIf they could move,^BbWhat it would prove',^FTo see them all take flight.
