Watch where you walk my friend
Each blade of grass
Is sculpted inch-perfect
Inside an urban garden patch
Perimeter patrolled by dogs and toy police
Watch where you walk
The concrete looks so clean
Our streets could tell a story
Brick by brick they tore them away
Our streets could tell a story
A chromium edifice
Front plexi-glass
Million dollar architects
Gleaming towers of septic mess
Manufactured futures
Destroying history
A towering edifice
Corporate and serene
Our streets could tell a story
Brick by brick they tore them away
Our streets could tell a story
Monochrome cubist cemetary
Billboards flashing L.E.D.
Monochrome sunset suffocation
Branding hoards asphyxiation
What happened to all the dead leaves on the ground?
What happened to all the bricks
Crumbling and brown?
What happened to all the dead leaves on the ground?
What happened to teenage hearts
Old bark
Carved and proud?
Our streets could tell a story
Brick by brick they tore them away
Our streets could tell a story
Our streets could tell a story
Brick by brick they tore them away
Our streets could tell a story
