Oh, fast-paced city I used to call home
when I was little and to and fro I go
I missed you so when they sent me far
to live on the countryside, you left my heart with a big scar
you built me a dream to study in a huge university
You built in me big dreams that only I can see
I was used to the lights that seem to be alive all night
the endless honker of the busy road far from sight
Oh, big, big city I used to cry for you
longing for a vacation, a day or two
But I am a changed young lady now
I am longer attracted to your deceitful show
I can see through your shiny skies
your roads all alive all day and night
It is a wonderful sorrowful world
where there are big crowds but small hearts
where people would do anything just to be continue to live
cheat, steal, lie and never forgive
where money is easily earned and easily spent
where virtue and dignity poses no strength
where words are deceitful
where actions are made on impulses
where decisions are hastily made
to match your fast pace
where people are enslaved by society's toxicity
if there's even such a word to match your cruelty
people here are riders of your jokes
where their hearts are blind
their minds are clouded
people here are selfish as can be
rude as they can possibly be
they all think they are ENTITLED to everything they thought to deserve
where they live like foreigners on their motherland
people open their mouth all the time as intellectuals that they think they all are
like how empty cans clatter
where they think being rude is equal to power
