Lyrics :: Paint it Red (Gentrification)

Welcome to another day in hell
that we build ourselves so well
Take a good look at your neighboorhood
you ain't cursing but i know you should
No more music under the bridge
all the windows are black as pitch
greed demands its own reservation
And they call it gentrification

Chorus
They say the city thrives (kick ‘em all out)
But we’re waiting for their tower to fall
And then we’ll kick em out (kick ‘em all out)

Welcome to another dream gone bad
That we brought down on our head
Listen to the noise that’s coming near
It’s happening and it’s happening here
they take streets away from us
make room for the next Starbucks
Welcome to the conflagration
brought to you by gentrification

Chorus
And united we’re all standing tall
2nd Line
paint their city, paint their city, paint their city red…

Instrumental Solo

Bad businessmen, queer politicians
Social distortion, no medication
By revolution or revelation
by any means fight gentrification

Chorus
They say the city thrives (kick ‘em all out)
But we’re waiting for their tower to fall
And then we’ll kick em out (kick ‘em all out)
And united we’re all standing tall
2nd Line
paint their city, paint their city, paint their city red…

Break

Paint it red, paint it red (paint it all red)
Paint it red, paint it red (waiting for their tower to fall)
Paint it red, paint it red (paint it all red)
