Intro

Chorus

(x2)

The Buildings and the Houses

They Keep comin Up, They Keep comin Up.

They keep comin, Say,

The Buildings and the houses,

They keep comin up.

Verse 1

I was around when there wasnt houses there.

I heard the sound when they cleared the land right there.

I saw the sunrise, before the town was there.

I saw the city man put in the parking square

Ive seen a lot of change in my 20 years.

And in 20 more, Ill see my biggest fears

Go up in concrete, Its not a pretty site. Its not a pretty site.

Chorus

(x2)

Verse 2

In between my classes or after a day at work

I throw my board in, and go and check the Surf.

It makes me mad when I cant find a parkin place

I get a ticket for bein in a metered space

It seems to me the times have changed or

Is that just something old people say?

Well I must be getting old these days

Cuz I am beginning to notice the change.

This cant continue, dont you know.

Lets give our children room to grow.

This cant continue, dont you know.

Lets give our children room to grow.

Chorus

Get creative. You can really jam to this one.
