***I***n the city that never sleeps
***N***obody has time to dream 

***N***o one cares for the color scheme
***E***verybody on these streets are mean 
***W***omen over here dress to **** 

***Y***earning for a life to steal
***O***utrageous trigger happy police
***R***uthless, spiteful and rigorous 
***K***indness comes fatally priced 

***N***o time for love or paradise  
***O***bsessive depression is what's subsidised
***B***eggars on my train struggle and scuffle 
***O***blivious oppression lurking
***D***elirious children deceived   
***Y***esterday's conception grieved

***C***raving lust is a must 
***A***geless shame is  
***R***ationalized pain
***E***veryone here idealizes blame
***S***erenity is an absentee in this chaotic city
