This city life, this concrete home
Connected by a mobile phone
It's shape reflected in the size
Of every tower block, every high rise

This city life complete with car
That soils the sky but don't get far
A chain of traffic lights dictate
Our journeys progress our journeys shape

This city life compete you're in
A race for rats and not for kin
The idols of civilized minds
The share value and dollar sign

This city life the stars we track
Celebrity's the life we lack
Ambition clouded like smog capped skies
They reach no further than the next payrise

This city life decisions made
The ethics of the new self made
It's all for one the loss of all
Community's now a shopping mall

This city life it's all we dreamt
Pollute the world and make a mint
If all you are is what you own
This city life's your perfect home

And here with multitude and saying "You're all alone"
