[Verse 1]
I have come to see the circus
That people laugh about
I have come to see the progress
My father spoke about
I have come to see the puppets
That live in fear and doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
That's not for me
No, it's not for me

[Chorus]
Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me
I said Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me

[Verse 2]
I have lived beside the waters
And peace was everywhere
I have lived atop the mountains
Where I could breathe fresh air
I have lived among real people
And I was happy there
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, that's for me
Yeah, that's for me

[Chorus]
Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me
I said Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me

[Bridge]
Take me away (from the cement prairie)
I said take me away (from the cement prairie)
Take me away (from the cement prairie)
I said take me away (from the cement prairie)

[Chorus]
Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me
I said Take me away
From the cement prairie
Living means
Much much more to me
