I look at this concrete jungle
Skyscrapers racing to touch the heavens above
I can't help but think of all the people inside them
working tirelessly to make ends meet
People who don't necessarily love what they do for a living
Slaves to the corporate machine
Sacrificing the time that's supposed to be for their families
while those at the top of the pyramid laugh at those who toil
The consequences of being cogs of a broken system
