Paroles de Condo

Build me a home up on a hill Where I can lay my head down Prices will rise, the market's upscale And all the cheap rents have left town Call it a condo, but it's just a box And it's built the cheapest way You've got two choices, move somewhere else Or mortgage your life away Stacking up those little boxes Vinyl siding to seal your thoughts in Minimum standard, marketable boxes Developer's profits are everyone's losses Fake brick and chain link fence Built with indifference Triple locks and a three-foot pine Not much humanity With the money saved buying marginal land Another zoning battle is won Nearby landowners hate the projects But the resentment's just begun You'll learn the worst about your neighbors And the state their lives are in You'll live in unspoken conflict The walls are paper-thin Prove that you're someone, pay an inflated price For the devalued American dream Get a cheap carton to keep your life in Home sweet home's not what it seems
