The West Ends |
| Just a walk in the park, Scollay Square after dark |
| I hear someone singin' «Is that Buddy Clark?» |
| This one’s a Bulfinch, I love every brick |
| The streets are so narrow and the accents are thick |
| Urban renewal, demolition, and the act of contrition |
| «Why would you live here in this condition?» |
| Why would they say that? |
| This is our home |
| The West End’s the best, then |
| Why won’t they just leave us alone? |
| A very short walk, but it’s block after block |
| Brutalist buildings beyond the shock |
| Cement and the steel and the zero appeal |
| If this was where you called home, then how would you feel? |
| Urban renewal, demolition, and the act of contrition |
| «Why would you live here in this condition?» |
| Why would they say that? |
| This is our home |
| The West End’s the best, then |
| Why won’t they just leave us alone? |
| Why won’t they leave us alone? |
| This is not squalor |
| It’s dollar to dollar |
| We don’t care about status |
| Or color or collar |
| This is not poverty |
| We don’t live in the slums |
| We are the working class poor |
| And we’re not just derelict bums |
| Urban renewal, demolition, and the act of contrition |
| «Why would you live here in this condition?» |
| Why would they say that? |
| This is our home |
| The West End’s the best… |
| Urban renewal, demolition, and the act of contrition |
| «Why would you live here in this condition?» |
| Why would they say that? |
| This is our home |
| The West End’s the best, then |
| Why won’t they leave us alone? |
| Why won’t they leave us alone? |
