lyrics

There he is Jerry is
Banging on the table
He’s naming and shaming
Don’t start complaining
How could you ever know?

Exceptional circumstance
They give you no say-so
The movers and shakers
The experts arrive
Stand back and let them through

You can see them everywhere
Behind the fences
In hi-vis gear
It’s just another job
The chief of police called me an Irish yob

We must think outside the Square
We’re moving forward to heaven knows where
Tiltslab paradise
Casino captains roll a loaded dice

Jerry is serious
He’s making you an offer
But you can’t refuse it
Yes it’s business as usual
Build it and they will come

What’s a city anyway?
Just a lot of people
Living in an old swamp
And I know what I want
When will I get my say?

You can see them everywhere
The moneymen are flocking here
It’s just another job
So clip the ticket and shut your gob
Suburban paradise
A double garage on Golf Links Drive
Tilt-slab paradise
Yesterday’s dreaming at twice the price
