In the country 
The farms and the orchards swell 
With oranges and peaches 
A little bit of truth as well 

In the city 
Politicians beat their drum 
All the suits come a runnin' 
It's all degeneration 

Life Marches On 
Life Marches On 
Life Marches On 

In the country 
Everybody thinks we're dumb 
But 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 up 
When it's only gonna bleed you dry? 

Life Marches On 
Life Marches On 
Life Marches On 

In the country 
The stars shine brighter 
Than in the city 
In the country 
In the country 

In the city 
I 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 
Oh yeah, yeah 
Life Marches On 
Oh yeah 
Life Marches On 
Life Marches On 
Life Marches On
