Wrecking ball tears through the heart of this town
Brick by brick, stone by stone
With new open spaces they push to the sky
Boxes on boxes we can't afford to buy
City of no color, city of constant change
City of money, city of chains
The sky is shattered with scaffolds and cranes
Loose another landmark for capital gain
The stage has gone dark in this old music hall
As we come together to watch as the last curtain falls
City of indifference, city of rain
City of strangers, city of chains
City of no color, city of constant change
City of money, city of chains
