lyrics
The city is bright with neon lights
Another advert every night
Pretty faces, happy smiles
Pay to join the perfect life
Offices and shopping malls
We have enough but they want more
Ghetto for poor, ghetto for rich
Housing is a privilege
Ugly buildings, ugly streets
Cold blue glass and grey concrete
Monitoring security guards
Forbidden zone, no tresspass
They own the streets
They'll buy the whole land
What are you planning here?
Next Disneyland?
Unknown soldiers of consumerism age
Are you ready to die at promotional sales
Work, buy, consume, die
Never question why
First they took Manhattan
Now they take Berlin
supported by 15 fans who also own “Gentrification X”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
