Song Lyrics

where will all the older people go
now this house is full of fear
For you neighbourhood but they have a value you can t see, last month there was a fire, now this house is full of fear
we lived here for so many years
you ve got to
you ve got to fight

you got to fight these houses may look all run down
these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see
for a profit you will take control
Now this house is full of fear, these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see Living, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
Treat poor people just like trash, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, cause every building that you burn is more blood money that you earn
Treat poor people just like trash, last month there was a fire, you sent flowers to their families but your sympathy s a lie

Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, you ve got to fight now you can tear a building down
They crack and blow their lives away, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, treat poor people just like trash
Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see
I call this place my home, they crack and blow their lives away
you wanna run the people out
For a profit you will take control, you ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory

You ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory, for your neighbourhood
Now our kids are living dead, you ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
There used to be when kids could play without the scourge of drug s decay, these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see
This is where i come from, where will all the older people go
You ve got to, this is where i come from
You ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory, for a profit you will take control, you ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory

Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, you ve got to fight
You sent flowers to their families but your sympathy s a lie, you call this place a slum
These houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see, last month there was a fire, you sent flowers to their families but your sympathy s a lie
Treat poor people just like trash, this is what you re all about Open, you ve got to fight
