Metropolis

So this is your metropolis
Prize your sanity
But how else could you pay
Lost in absurdity
The people turned away
Victim of environment
Carted away with ease
Your growth has been stagnant
From economic disease

It's flower has wilted
The roots are so gray
Collapsed in a corridor
Like a body in decay

The urban jungle calls
The stench is ground in their feet
Participants shout down walls
Over debris and burning streets
Gritty faces with despair
Wring their hands and shake their heads
For what was once so beautiful
Is now almost dead

Is this what's left of metropolis
Is this your metropolis
Is this what's left of metropolis
Is this your metropolis

Too late to ask yourself
Why must this be
Investigate all the needs
Ride through the sea of trash
The evil play but the innocent pay
The shackled are torn with dismay
So turn your head and enjoy the feast
Before the tide comes and washes it away

Is this your metropolis
Is this your metropolis
Is this metropolis
Is this your metropolis
