about
Okay, I admit it looks pretty good from the air or from your airconditioned highrise condo at twilight or when you’re cruising down the highway on a public holiday with the stereo on loud…
lyrics
Komplek City, Komplek City
Complexity – that’s the key
This is how you plan a city
Put in lots of complexity
Complexity, Komplek City
How did you become a monstrosity?
URBAN SPRAWL, SEE THE TRAFFIC CRAWL
ALL THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE LOOK SO SMALL
HIGH RISE, SCRAPE THE SKY
DO WE REALLY WANT TO PAY THE PRICE?
CONCRETE TOWER, SYMBOL OF POWER
RAPE THE EARTH FOR ALL IT’S WORTH
Business boom come to our showroom (doodoodoo-doom)
On the ground floor we can show you more (wowowo-woe)
Well it’s cold cash or credit card
But life is hard in
Komplek City, Komplek City
Oh glorious capital city
Progress is measured in audacity
There’s no room for incapacity
The way to the top is rapacity
In Komplek City, Komplek City
If you’re rich you’ll find no scarcity
(Komplek Pertama, Angkasa Raya, Campbell Complex, Kota Raya, Yowchuan Plaza, Imbi Plaza, BB Plaza, Sungei Wang-Wang-Wang, Ampang Park, velly cheap but parking bukan percuma, Ampang City, watch out it’s coming soon; Dayabumi just makes me swoon, but now you can go to Kimisawa on the moon!)
Why talk of beauty and what is truth?
You know it ain’t no use
You can do all your shopping under one roof
There’s so much to choose
So you say we bore you with our piles
And our plastic smiles
But still we got style in
Komplek City, Komplek City
Woe-oh-woe-oh but that’s our city
Is this how you plan a city?
Turn it into some atrocity
Wall it in with stone & steel
Well the money’s coming in
So don’t you blow the deal
Komplek City, Komplek City
Woe-oh-woe-oh what a pity!
