Lyrics

Come all you neighbours and rise from your sleep The bulldozer's rolling down our street Look away, hide your face from the shame They're razing the town Look away, hide your face from the shame They'll plow through the culture and your history Replace it with plastic homogeny Look away, hide your face from the shame They're razing the town Look away, hide your face from the shame It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down Three generations grew up across the street I saw a picture of their grandma on my porch in her bare feet Look away, hide your face from the shame They're razing the town Look away, hide your face from the shame They moved out last year and the house was levelled flat I don't know where they went to but they ain't coming back Look away, hide your face from the shame They're razing the town Look away, hide your face from the shame It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down He pointed out a place just two houses down from me He said "I grew up here but I don't recognise a thing" Come all you neighbours and rise from your sleep The bulldozer's rolling down our street Look away, hide your face from the shame They're razing the town Look away, hide your face from the shame It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down It's a beautiful town They can't wait to tear it down
