Muak!

Anda hidup sebagai lelucon di tengah pergaulan
Anda berlagak penting setiap saat, padahal tidak
Anda menganggap mengetahui segalanya, padahal tidak
Anda berbohong seakan semua orang akan percaya, padahal tidak

Hey kawan, berbuatlah yang lebih baik mulai dari sekarang
Jangan hanya meminta tanpa memberi
Jangan hidup dalam mimpi kosong tanpa usaha
Jangan merasa memiliki tanpa pernah mendapatkannya

Sekarang saya sudah merasa muak dengan anda
Dan saya tak ingin semua orang merasakan hal yang sama dengan saya tentang anda

Sadarilah dan berubahlah, kawan.
