With your life insurance and pension schemes
It's a lonely ride down golden highways
But shoot for the skyways
I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street
Assembly line living machine
Mass production bought sight unseen
And you sell your soul to society
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
Deep depression after feeling high
When promises come all undone
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street
