the nutty world

Residence in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia by Frank Mertens

The world is such a nutty place
You don't get it right though you try
Walking on the streets and alleys
You think you will make the change

You listen to the crazy music
Buzzing your ears finding faults many
The motorists don't care about you
Revving high pitch making scenes

The world is such a nutty place
Full of everything except heavens
You try to make an honest living
You find you were born at the wrong time

The smog and haze clouding sky
You don't feel at home though you try
Busy people crazy drivers
And Mat Rempits waiting by

You have no choice but to make a living
On the streets you wish it is safe
Even police turning a black eye
In Chow Kit they say they have no chance

So you look around
Ordinary people ordinary lives
Living hands to mouths worrying about tomorrow
In the night the thieves and robbers come alive
And the drug pushers well dressed mingling crowd
The night is just begun

You walk on
Living and breathing it
Knowing tomorrow will be different
For it is in the star as old people say
