Lyrics

Concrete rules where playgrounds stood
Don't recognize the old neighborhood
Gone are parks and trees
People call it development
To me it looks just like cement
I miss the laughs and screams
DON'T YOU THINK THAT
WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR SCENE
BUT WE'RE BLIND, YEAH
LEARN TO PRESERVE THE VILLAGE GREENS
MAN I'VE TRIED, YEAH
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT?
IT SEEMS WE MANUFACTURE BROKEN DREAMS
OUR LIVES BURN
WE GOT JUST ONE WORLD
In Venetian alleyways
Sometimes even in cafes
The dress code's rubber boots
Water's rising, the fishermen
Remember seashells in the sand
Now half the shore is gone
Individually packed
Second-rate crap
Delivered to your front door
Never mind the carbon footprint
Tomorrow, you'll want more
Written by: Elina Suominen, Tommi Juhani Tikka
