He searched high
He searched low
Tried so hard
Didn't make a cent today
She cried hard
Kid cried too
He looked down
But said it would be allrightWalking round an over town (way down town) Wandering round
Looking for a bed tonight
No turning back no turning around
On humble ground
Gonna make their home tonight
Somebody said that money makes
The world go round today
Well, luck must be everything
Jabrik's looking for a job with a decent days pay
And he won't give up though
He feels like breaking down'Cause you need hope in a big town
Chancing a lot now
Don't get down in a big town !
You know I'll be allrightFrom Kota right up to Bintaro
They kept on searching and hoping
Didn't give up in the big town
Dispair kept hunger from callingThen he got a job that would earn him
One thousand big ones in one day
She squeezed his hand and he took it
To the dark side of Tanah Abang
