City Walls

People living in the city Talking to you like they think their so witty Putting on a big smile But wearing it only for a little while Spending all their money trying to look so good Thinking the sun never rises whereever they have stood Spending their time Trying to make another dime Hopefully those words went with this rhyme Fake city lights blind the eyes Politicians practicing their lies Too busy to see What life was meant to be. Held down by all they own Life is never even known Where big money is grown Living fast Having a blast Hard to soar Nailed to a floor Behind a locked door Love you can never buy, only rent Better to live in a tent Away from the people Money is their steeple People robbing and killing Nobody ever just chilling Lifes value is held so low People sitting back watching the show This City that never sleeps The people weeps Choking on the smog A barking dog People shoving on by Hearing some poor soul cry So many lost souls Once they had goals The city sucked them dry No longer do they even try Living day to day Painfully they play Hearts turned ice Love comes with a price Another tear falls Behind these city walls
