Verse:
Well the older generation
They got something to say,
But they better say it fast
Or get outta the way.
All those gangsters with their crimes
They make it look so good,
We've been blowing up the planet
Just like the old neighbourhood.

Chorus:
New buildings going up,
Old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
Old signs coming down,
You gotta hold on
To something in this life.
