I look at my city
Oh it's so pretty
But they build a lot
I'm really sad
It's really bad
Closure today
No other way
Ready your boots
Take longer routes
They build again
To that amen
That was not necessary
Completion dates may vary
Why couldn't everything be like it used to be
Exactly why these things keep happening to me
I can see everyday there's more that yellow tape
One day I just won't leave my home I won't escape
I'd rather be
Next to the sea
Light-hearted and free
Where water is clear
No detours to fear
Machines to hear
I look at my city
Oh it's so pretty
But they change a lot
And I'm just sad
It's really bad
Everything bent
Refurbishment
No access now
They don't care how
They build again
To that amen
And that was not necessary
Completion dates may vary
Why couldn't everything be like it used to be
Exactly why these things keep happening to me
I can see everyday there's more that yellow tape
One day I just won't leave my home I won't escape
