Gentrification Song

Gentrification ©Credence Found ASCAP Change moves the sun There is no turning back, Like a passenger train on a one way track. A black man and his father neglected, Death left the son behind disconnected recollected - it was only a house CHORUS Gentrification, deprivation, forced migration, it’s a new creation! Goodbye to the people in the city’s heart the old working man is the weakest part, White neighbor brings labor, She is beautiful and sharp like a lightsaber Invisible walls for the other side The culture, your language, evaporates Slowly the color desaturates Is it a thing that we tolerate? Bridge Close your eyes, down Buchanan The wasps buzzing familiar Comfort in our cocoons we slept like slaves until we couldn’t avoid this wreck CHORUS Gentrification, deprivation, forced migration, it’s a new creation! Gentrification, deprivation, forced migration, it’s a new creation! Gentrification, deprivation, forced migration, it’s a new creation!
