Knocked down - Built up
Putting urban blight to use
They'll buy up your old neighborhood and sell it back to you
Knocked down - Built up
The cycle only stops
When there's no more money thrown around and the market drops
Is city life just like you thought?
You've got a nice view of a vacant lot
Built up - knocked down
People living in the streets
Empty buildings overhead but no place for them to sleep
Built up - knocked down
Tell me what's the use?
We haven't got a chance in a gamble we all lose
Is city life just like you thought?
You've got a nice view of a vacant lot
And you moved to the city from far away
Got a good job and money to waste
You bought a place with a skyline view
In a brand-new building built for people like you
Moved to the city from far away
You've got a good job and money to waste
Bought a place but the building stopped
Now you've got a nice view of a vacant lot
You've got a nice view of a vacant lot
You've got a nice view of a vacant lot
