Rip down the local
Throw up a hotel
Clean these streets of culture
Give the corporations full control
Rip out the heart of the city
Stop the beating of the streets
Have the same old boring conversations
With every acquaintance you meet
I want to be inspired
I want to be free
Don't want to grow tired, of a city once admired
I want to be inspired
I want to be free
Don't want to grow tired, of a city on its knees
I want to be inspired
I want to be inspired
I want to be inspired
Gentrification doesn't mean shit
When the money in your bank is a bottomless pit
Gentrification is a meaningless fact
When you don't give a fuck about culture and that
Gentrification doesn't mean shit
When the money in your bank is a bottomless pit
Gentrification will help this city
Now you can't afford rent, what a shame, what a pity!
Gentrification doesn't mean shit
When the money in your bank is a bottomless pit
Gentrification I couldn't give a damn
I'm only here for the money, man
Gentrification
Gentrification
Gentrification
Gentrification
This city isn't breathing
For that reason I'm leaving
I can't help the way that I'm feeling
This city isn't breathing
For that reason I'm leaving
I can't help the way that I'm feeling
Gentrification
Gentrification
Gentrification
Gentrification
