Fix the Streets

FIX THE STREETS

Fix the streets.
One day the people will rebel
and stop paying taxes.

Fix the streets.
No one will want to live 
here in San Diego.

Fix the streets.
One day the people
will revolt.

Fix the streets.
This is not the time
to put up with crooked politicians.

Fix the streets.
Wealthy people won't want to live here.
Fix the streets.
