See the cark on their faces!
On the street ‘bra yu bobor dae o’ their voices.
To some it’s a means of survival
As their eyes gaze waiting for revival
Where nothing happens.
There is no remedy for the gallant
That’s paid minimum wage,
And their dreams swallowed by the giants of the land,
Devourer of talent,
And crumblers of dreams
Hidden under the dictates of the jurisdiction.
As dreams swallowed by the giants of the land,
There arise nocturnal carpenters soar in numbers…
Like wolves finding somewhere to devour,
Leaving their cries across the terra,
Making life miserable for the helpless,
But these are the monsters society makes.
