I've got my bottom line, I've got my mouths to feed,
I've got my stockholders, we've got our own needs,
I don't do well with dreamers, I don't buy mystery,
I deal in real estate, not ancient history
Look at this parcel here, remember I'm the owner,
Sure we've had a lovely time, but it was just a loaner
It's an eyesore in this modern age, I'm trying to be lenient,
But your ghosts and all your memories are truly inconvenient
You're a lovely bunch of kids, and I'm sure you're well-intentioned,
But my paperwork's in order, all my permits and exemptions,
You think you have a valid stance, our study team refutes it,
But we ran it up the flagpole, no one on our side salutes it
Don't get us wrong we loved those actors, dressed up in their frills,
But we've got art to push and cars to park and that means dollar bills,
This land is not your land, that was a different Guthrie,
Progress is the issue, and babe that's how it must be
You're blowin' in the wind, we're getting tired of your claims,
We've heard enough of Tyrone and that Tanya Whatshername
Yes, the famous folks have played here, yes, yes, the joint was all the rage,
Let's be forward thinking, people... lock the doors and turn the page
We'll take photographs of everything, we'll preserve the day,
We've listened to your pleas, now if you'll kindly go away...
The implosion will be grand, if that offends, we beg your pardon,
We'll invite you all for tea and wine in the sculpture garden
I've got my bottom line, we've got our minds made up,
Let's toast our heritage, let's use a brand new cup,
This is America, land of opportunity,
Remember where you're living, it's disposable community...
