Lyric discussion by gocatstevens 

I love this line: and you make them long and you make them tough, but they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

The message I get from this song is that the world is getting so "built up" and we can't ever get away from that and the cities are getting bigger, as the open "green grass" etc are getting smaller.
