City Life

I claim to be this person,
 Not selfish not greedy well that's not me, it's hard to be
 I'd hate to be mistaken for someone not
 Needy, well that's just me, it's hard to see
 I close my eyes in dust bowls called city life
 I wonder why we live here and why we haven't left
 I close my eyes in narrow lanes and pigsty I
 Wonder why I can't see the sky and all the stars
 
 While we all chase the love
 We all chase the cars
 We all chase the good life with broken
 Hearts I can sing to the clouds, sing to the rain
 It won't mean a thing in these packed trains
 ♪
 I close my eyes to begging kids and their cries I
 Wonder why I can't see the stone that I've become
 I close my eyes to honey bees and butterflies I
 Wonder why they fell trees and how they aim to breathe
 
 While we all chase the love
 We all chase the cars
 We all chase the good life with broken hearts
 I can sing to the clouds, sing to the rain
 It won't mean a thing in these packed trains
