Comin' Up - Marc B

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 say, 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 One:

I was around when there wasn’t houses there;

I heard the sound when they

cleared the land right there.

I saw the sun rise before the town was

there.

I saw the city man put in the parking square.

I 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 sight, it’s not a pretty sight, because…

Verse Two:

In between my classes or after a day at work, I throw my board 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 that times

have changed, though is that just somethin' old people say?

Well, I must

be gettin' older these days, 'cause I am beginning to notice the change.

This can’t continue, don’t you know?

Let’s give our children room to

grow.

This can’t continue, don’t you know?

Let’s give our children room

to grow!

The buildings and the houses, they keep comin' up, they keep comin' up,

they keep comin'

Round:

I say, the buildings and the houses (x2)

They keep comin' up
