 When I was younger  I chased butterflies
 now I look  around  and realize
there  ain't no butterflies  around here  no more.
 Now theres more people everywhere,
 and on ground that once was bare
 they've built condos and shopping malls.
 and on streets  I walked  where the sun shined
 shadows grow  as buildings climb,
 and I get older  getting colder  every day.
 The concrete stretches for miles
 They put it up in different styles,
 but it still looks pretty ugly to me....
 What a Pity, They've fucked up this city
 where I grew up.
 Now it's grown too big and there's no room left for me.
 The rest is a repeat of these parts. End on A.
