lyrics

As the cranes go up and the houses fall
There’s nothing left for us at all
After its all been sold
We fight because its all we know
Of the places that we once called home
They’ll pick their teeth with this city’s bones.

If I die, throw my body on the hillside
Feed me to the birds
So I might fly, back home to you
And we’ll make our voices heard
We’ll wait for when they least expect
And we’ll take this city back

They turned the rivers into airways
Built condos next to the trains
Until we’re all that remains
Fading memories of the squats
And the times when we were “us”
When we weren’t poor, we were just “upper crust”
I still can’t let it go

So if I die, throw my body on the hillside
Feed me to the birds
So I might fly, back home to you
And we’ll make our voices heard
We’ll wait for when they least expect
And we’ll take this city back
X2

Take this city back!
