| Song | Once a City |
| Artist | 10,000 Maniacs |
| Album | The Earth Pressed Flat |
| 作词 : Lombardo, Ramsey ... | |
| This was once a city | |
| Harmony a common theme | |
| But these complications | |
| Now make life a bit uneasy | |
| Hallowed buildings scrape the sky | |
| Voices ride the airwaves | |
| Once a city years gone by | |
| Will they still be standing in thecenturies ahead | |
| Going underground little children hiding, | |
| Bullets never meant for them | |
| Must there be such bloodshed in our hearts, our homes, ourheads? | |
| Will i be walking, walking so free? | |
| This was a city once | |
| This was once a city | |
| Harmony a common theme but these complications | |
| Once a city, once a dream. |
