lyrics

There’s a place in the world
full of lots of boys and girls
and it’s always about 30 degrees
There are lots of big tall buildings
but there are not too many trees
I’m talking about Jakarta

If you can find it anywhere I bet you can find it here
Except for clean streets and lack of corruption
Walking down the street people love to stop and greet
I’m talking about Jakarta

Yeah we know… there’s a lot of traffic jams
Yeah we know… there’s a lot more people than they planned
Yeah we know… It’s not the place to relax
But I’ll take it like that, I’m making a pact, with Jakarta

It looks beautiful at night, though the stars are not too bright
You sure can find a lot of things to do
Take a pill at stadium; get a fungal infection
So remember to use protection
If you need a place to think, you can do it while you drink
There ain’t no shortage of cheap bars
If you’re looking for a friend, you can rent one who’ll attend.
I’m talking about Jakarta

Yeah we know... there’s a lot of poverty
Yeah we know... that nothing comes for free
Yeah we know… some places really smell
But I'll take it like that; I'm making a pact with Jakarta

Yeah we know… the police will rob you twice
Yeah we know… the pollutions not so nice
Yeah we know… occasionally there is a bomb
But I’ll take it like that, I’m making a pact with Jakarta

Everywhere that you go people are putting on a show
There’s always something happening on the street
If you learn to speak the slang, you can find a place to hang
and somewhere you can eat Indomie

You can buy stuff really cheap, though it’ll only last a week
You can always go and buy another one
If you want to find a place that’ll keep you in the race
Ya gotta come to Jakarta
