The city k**s your naive dreams You learn it as you grow The more you try to resist The more it starts to show Corrupting, twisting atmosphere Becomes a part of you Your innocence just fades away And there's nothing you can do You save your joy for a payday Material obsessions you obey The city feeds your unsure heart With rush and discontent It drives you to a state of mind
Where your lifeline has been bent The k**er instinct takes control The shadows come to rule Those kings behind the scenes Will guide your kind of mindless fool What maze of sadness there lies A reign of hell in disguise Blood stains the empty streets That's where the city comes to die And though you see it through your needs U can't find the strength to say goodbye
