City of Nets

I came here long ago in expectation
 Better times and greater harmony
 But now it's very clear to me
 There can be no salvation in such a place
 Take a tip from me
 Don't depend on the City of Nets
 It'll drag you down, it's the kind of town that has no regrets
 I descend through the City of Nets
 Under steel-grey skies, under spying eyes
 Under seas of depts
 Where kindness is illusory, where money is all usery
 And those above are too serine to care
 Where clutching hands reach out for me
 Survival is in doubt for me
 And even the devout don't have a prayer
 There's no end to the City of Nets
 There's a coming day when you too must pay
 All your loosing bets
 It doesn't matter how long you search for a sense of rest
 You'll never find it in the city of Nets
 Where kindness is illusory, where money is all usery
 And those above are too serine to care
 Where clutching hands reach out for me
 Survival is in doubt for me
 And even the devout don't have a prayer
 There's no end to the City of Nets
 There's a coming day when you too must pay
 All your loosing bets
 It doesn't matter how long you search for a sense of rest
 You'll never find it in the City of Nets
