I don't think that it'd be that destructive- what about phasing the city out, in the manner you suggested (AOE first, rapidly expanding to the edge of town), leaving everybody still there (people above ground are moved to ground level), but removing the city in a way the could easily be mistaken for its destruction. As the song reaches the end, the city is put back, piece by piece. Added effect- the people of the city see the problems with each piece, and everything which its existence has screwed up (sort of a 'second thoughts' effect) as it reappears. By the end, the city is back, in all its soulless, grimy unpleasantness, and full of people who are, for the first time in *years*, if ever, seeing this.Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines...
