Lyrics

The opera is over, singers have all gone home
Seats are empty, the kitchen is closed

The sidewalks are sprayed down
The blinds are pulled down, foundations unstable
The wrecking ball's back
Quiet business vacancy, quiet business vacancy

Rents are rising, our lease is up, culture is down

The symphony's concluded
The instruments are all cased up
The notes are silent, music's still apparent

Rents are rising, our lease is up
Culture is down, spirits are jaded

Art is dying, is art dead?
Art is dying, is art dead?
Believe it, we need to move on

A one track mind in a one way time
Let's go ahead and gentrify
We let art die with robot minds
They steal the brush and paint boundary lines
A stale kind of people we'll find
Walking in single file line
I think it's time we finally rewind
Let's go ahead, we might as well

Rents are rising, our lease is up
Culture is down, spirits are jaded
