Home Improvement |
| Well, you know I was a farmer when I was a younger man |
| Until the fields got paved with asphalt and they took away my land |
| And now the monument before us, it stands so tall and proud |
| A glorious new minimall upon the earth that I once plowed |
| I sold my house out in the country to rent a trailor by the mall |
| It’s not so bad except the kitchen’s just a little small |
| I got a job at the local hardware store, where I work till five o’clock |
| But now they built another home improvement palace down the block |
| What’s the sense of all this home improvement |
| I liked my home the way it was before |
| If this is what our town has come to stand for |
| I don’t think we need improvement anymore |
| I lost my job at the hardware store when the owner closed it down |
| He said the rent was just too high to keep his family in this town |
| He sold his house to an executive, who tore it down to build anew |
| A million dollar mansion with a $ 20 view |
| What’s the sense of all this home improvement |
| I liked my home the way it was before |
| If this is what our town has come to stand for |
| I don’t think we need improvement anymore |
| Someday this town will reach its goal and everyone will have |
| A Mercedes in the driveway of their subdivision land |
| Clear the way for progress by demolishing the past |
| But we need another steakhouse like a hole in the head |
| What’s the sense of all this home improvement |
| I liked my home the way it was before |
| If this is what our town has come to stand for |
| I don’t think we need improvement anymore |
