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
