lyrics

Build of green glass windows
Build in the red
Leverage the neighbourhood
Mortgage the shadows
with simple plans
and neutral tones
Strip this city of its bricks and stones.

Rise from the smoulder
from dead industry
upwards from downturns
and wide as the broad side of a barracks
Phony growth
no rhyzome
build this city on buried bones.

Thank you,
Doubledoubledoubledouble land
Fuck you,
Ontario Municipal Board
You poisonous mushrooms,
Phil Pick and Richard Florida.

As every crane can raise and spin
so everybody's moving
to Berlin.

Pity love
Silly shitty city pity
city pity
pity love

As every crane has boom and jib
so everybody's moving to Brooklyn.

Heavenly trees
Grow in the crease
where asphalt meets fences
where houses meet weeds.
Through foundations
through the streets
all these new beginnings explode

Business is business on rich sandy lome
Bury your dollars
and harvest a home
All that cheddar
All that cheese
Grow that debt to income ratio

Pity love
Silly shitty city pity
city pity
pity love
