City Council
City Council Deceit: Unveiling the Struggle for Affordable Living
Lyrics
City officials lie on and on again
City officials continuously deceive the public
Down in my city, the rent has gone up again
Rents in the city have risen again
Hide behind false words no more
They no longer hide behind false promises
What the fuck do you take us for
Questioning the council's perception of the public
Council, you bastards control the waterfront
The council has control over the waterfront area
Don't let them tear you down
Encouragement not to allow destruction or demolition
Tried to protest, it seems all in vain
Efforts to protest seem futile or ineffective
This rent increase I can't afford to pay
The increased rent is unaffordable
The please I live is hip today
The place where I live is currently fashionable or trendy
In comes the rich the poor has to go away
The arrival of wealthy individuals displaces the poor
Down at city hall I state my case
Presenting a case at city hall
The city council has all been paid
Suggesting corruption within the city council due to bribes or influence
They stand for the people, so they say
Claiming to represent the people, although it's believed to be false
You filthy liars, I hope you rot in hell
Expressing anger and condemnation towards the council's dishonesty
Council, you bastards control the waterfront
Reiteration of the council's control over the waterfront area
Don't let them tear you down
Reinforcing the call to resist demolition or destruction
Rent control petitions and off to court we go
Initiating legal action through petitions and court involvement against rent control
The judge takes our side, our voice has been heard
The court supports the protesters' stance
This city knows of the council's illegal ways
The city is aware of the council's unlawful actions
This working man just won't go away
Asserting resilience of the working class against displacement
