Come KL people whoever you are,
and admit that flood water around you have grown,
and accept it that one day you won’t make it back home
if you think Masjid Jamek is worth savin’
so you better learn to swim or you will sink in this tomb,
For our city, it’s time for a-changin’
Come bloggers and twitters who criticize with your pens
Just drink up your Aik-Cheong and lose sleep again
But don’t post too soon or we won’t see you again,
Still there’s no tellin which language they will be teachin’

There’s a battle and it’s worth fightin’
Please stand up to be counted or it won’t matter again
For our dreams, please start a-changin’
Come posers and politicians, please heed our call
Don’t sleep in the Parliament, don’t smoke in the halls
Your mansions can be big but it’s your pledges we recall
It’s about time you just act and quit rot talkin’
We will haunt your conscience and we’ll dig out your bones
For it’s now, we want the changin’
The votes has been cast, the curse it will last
The losers now might later get to laugh
The winners now can afford to act proud
But there’s no tellin how long they will be stayin
For t he first one now will later be the last,
For the time they are a changin
