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
