VACANT LOT

Well now the rent is truly spent
I give to you one last lament
Of the avaricious creed and their behaviour
The constant urge to tear it down
Replace the face of this old town
Progressively ingrained systemic failure

Where did we go wrong? I don’t know
Vacant lots to go

There’s a corner plot regenerating
A future ghetto slum in waiting
When will recession flight really start to bite?
There’s a sprawling mall like a funeral pall
And the smog still lingers with congestion toll
The cracks will start to show the urban blight

Developmental land acquired
For a brand new flagship gleaming spire
Vacant lots awaiting breadline tenancies
I remember when this was all just fields
Now supermarket profit yields
From a global workforce starving overseas
