Where you gonna go, now that Soul Town's gone
How you gonna do, What 'has been so undone
Once you were hip, right at the tip
The very essence of cool
Street savvy and fly, Steel in your eye
Thought you were nobody's fool
It's why I wanna know
What you gonna say, when they talk it down
That at the peak of it's day,
It was nothing, nothing but a plain Jane town
You say Soul Town, Is the way it âs all meant to be
And someday we'll build it all again,
When we've had enough of this emptiness
Far too much of this loneliness
We'll start afresh, raise it up, and grow
When you gonna see, that Soul Towns passed
And all those beautiful people you used to know,
Well they ain't so fast
You riding high, in infinite skies
Just being that was your precious pearl
With one dream in your hearts and faith in that dream
You thought you'd be changing the world
You say Soul Town's the prettiest place you knew
And someday we'll build it all again,
When we've had enough of this emptiness
Far too much of this loneliness
We'll start afresh, raise it up, and grow
Where you gonna go, now that Soul Town's gone
How you gonna do, What âs been so undone
This! This ain't nostalgia, This ain't a love song
I'm talking bout Soul Town, because Soul Town's gone
Those crazy clothes you used to wear, flowers in your hair
And your peace signs everywhere, way on back in Soul Town
Somebody tell me what happened to all those dreams of peace,
And understanding and harmony and brotherhood and love,
Being together for ever and ever
Don't it seem like Soul Town, Soul Town is gone
This! This ain't a love song This ain't nostalgia,
Thus is a silly game we played with a game we loved
Way on back in Soul Soul Soul Town
