Time Changes, Lorries Don'T
Here I am to tell you a story
of an old and broken lorry
and it's friend, the old garage,
they were both heroes once.
Back by decades it happened once
that some guy bought a garage.
Believe me was the man surprised,
when he saw a lorry inside.
The lorry wasn't in the deal,
but there it was and it was his.
So the man soon decided,
that with that car he wants to ride with.
He popped the hood, made sure it worked,
turned on the engine and went to work.
He did the same each workday morning,
until one he got a mysterious warning.
It was strange and it was yellow,
it said the garage was being hollowed.
Of course the owner didn't like it,
so he sued the city hall and by god, he won.
The town had evil plans before,
they were going to build a shopping mall.
But since the little garage had stayed,
all nice old building stayed there and smiled.
Overnight the city loved him,
the people smiled and gave them gifts,
it lasted for some weeks
and that was it.
They all forgot the nice old man,
his big blue truck and the sad garage.
Now the city plans a scyscraper
and guess whose garage is again on the papers.
