Forced to Move Lyrics


Construction begins

Beginning of the end

A disturbing trend

Everything's changed

Nothing's the same

Who's to blame?

Increasing dismay

Can’t afford to stay

Options are weighed

Forced to move

When things improved

Affordable housing gone

One day a multistory complex was constructed

It's amenities and affordable prices were seductive

Commercial and industrial also affected

Creating inspiration for resentment

People displaced

Culture erased

Acquisition campaign

Neighborhoods changed

Homelessness criminalized

While cities are yuppified

Time to say goodbye

Gentrified
