Da dum da dum da da da dum, Da dum da dum da da da dum Da dum da dum da da da dum, Da dum Slipped back home all alone Trying to keep myself to my family and me Spotted at the beach taken out to lunch flat whites and carrot cake, At The Lime Tree, Café by the bay The marina bouncers are lame only letting the vacuous and beautifully tame Girls into a den where finely dressed men entertain with their salaries and cosmetic grins In a city where a buck can be a matter of luck Your skin colour your lifestyle your wasta Determine your rise as much as your mind Like skyscrapers they’re slowly cracking On the backs of the men who been building them Imported by self-styled pharaohs Where the washing of bills and the ringing of tills drown out any notions that question Ethics in a land that places faith in its candid glamour and hype on billboards In place of social foundations build monorail stations to ease congestion while enlarging the airport Followed by road-side stares everywhere everyday it’s all perspective people say Buy a model home in the mall and deck it out with kitsch décor from Arabian heritage stalls
Cause there’s a price to be paid, Cause there’s a price to be paid Cause there’s a price to be paid, Cause there’s a price to be paid
Slipped back home all alone Trying to keep myself to my family and friends Spotted at the beach taken out to lunch flat whites and carrot cake, At The Lime Tree, Café by the bay The marina bouncers are lame and we’re all so artificially tame And around and around and around and again, And we dance and we drink and we spin and we sing
