Cardboard City

Cardboard city
Who gives a shit
Cardboard city
It's a hit
Hoards of the medias
Whirring their cameras
Living vicarious lives
Tasting it
Cardboard city
Beyond telethon
Cardboard city
Unwashed and gone
Who needs the dregs?
We should cut off their legs
And their thoughts
And have gone
I live in the loneliest place
I could find
A city where everyone's
Very mankind
You get what you vote
To perpetuate
Cynical people, trivial state
Cardboard city
The underclass
Cardboard city
You quickly pass
It might be someone
Who would be like
No one you knew
You bet your ass
Cardboard city
A sympton of
Cardboard city
A loss of love
The face of your parliament
Cold on your pavement
And you can't get enough
