lyrics

My real estate broker said me
This town's not the same as it used to be
The crime is long gone
We’ve got cafes along
The main street downtown

We’re washing away
The cans of spray paint
And building a wall

The people of the asphalt
Vs the people of the hill
I can tell which one, you fit the bill

The Red Command stays
Far away
You won’t see them don’t fear

We’ve cleaned this block out
Of the poor, they’ve gone south
Out of sight out of mind

On the day of the move in
Dreams coming true
An artist living making something new

The moving truck pulls away
And the neighbors staring straight, they say
What we built is faded to beige

Pouring hot cement
Over hills, this is my lent

Right angles fit like a glove
In a perfect square
