The Town is Painted Red
The Town is Painted Red The town is painted Red, There are Sales all around, Salesmen wearing Red T-shirts And sales girls wearing Red Lipsticks, Guide the customers to spend more, to be Greedy , to buy more, for the simple logic: spend more, save more. Everything is on Sale, just bread costs the same, for which we earn and save, save and earn . In the streets bustling with people On the occasion of sale, A woman sits in the City Center Singing a sad song with a very sad tone. Hears like a song of longing , a song of times past, a song of happiness bygone . Like the song of the solitary reaper, it's too in an alien language. I hurry up past her each time, for the fear her sadness would engulf me... Then I won't be able to buy anything... Hence, won't be able to save anything!
