Arcade Fire – City with No Children Lyrics 13 years ago
I think "Living in a city with no children in it" means that people are living their lives as if they are the last generation. The children of today will inheret this world, but adults don't seem to care (letting their gardens go to waste while they stay inside and accumulate wealth- in an increasingly privatised world). The first verse is a memory of innocence which is now lost.
