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
