The West Ends

Just a walk in the park skully square after dark
 I hear someone sayin' "Is that Bernie Clark?"
 This one's a bull finch, I love every brick
 The streets are so narrow and the accents are thick
 Urban renewal, demolition and the act of contrition
 Why would you live here in this condition?
 Why would they say that, this is our home?
 The West End's the best, then why won't they just leave us alone?
 A very short walk, but its block after block
 Bruised buildings beyond the shock
 Cement and the steel and the zero appeal
 If this was where you called home, then how would you feel?
 Urban renewal, demolition and the act of contrition
 Why would you live here in this condition?
 Why would you say that, this is our home?
 The West End's the best, then won't they just leave us alone?
 Why won't they just leave us alone?
 ♪
 This is not squalor
 It's dollar to dollar
 We don't care about status
 Or color or collar
 This is not poverty, we don't live in the slums
 We are the working class poor, and we're not just derelict bums
