The song is about the growth of suburbia and its negative environmental and social aspects. It was performed by Joel on the premiere episode of Late Show with David Letterman on August 30, 1993. The song peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
In 2017, Joel performed the song in concert as part of the story line in the Thanksgiving episode of the sixth season of the TV series Arrow.[2] In 2018, he recalled the song as containing his best lyrics, with "biblical imagery skewed by consumerism".[3] On the 1994 River of Dreams Tour, Joel often opened concerts with "No Man's Land".
