Comin' Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Chorus]
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.
I was around when there wasn't 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
I've seen a lot of change in my 20 years.
And in 20 more, I'll see my biggest fears
Go up in concrete, It's not a pretty site.
[Chorus]
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 can't 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 can't continue, don't you know.
Let's give our children room to grow.
