In My Town
In my town
They’re pulling houses down
And building new ones no-one can afford
In my town
Whole streets are run-down
Windows boarded up with chipboard
In my town
What’s happened to my town?
The town I used to know
Everything has changed
Where did the people go?
Who would look out for each other
And lend a helping hand
What’s happened to my town?
In my town
People were so nice
We had community spirit
Or to be more precise
I was so proud to live here
But now so much has changed
In my town
In my town
People look so down
They used to be so happy
But this was a different town
They must have loved it then
But find it hard to now
It was their town
It was my town
In my town
Things really need to change
