No Future

Jack Hardy

[Verse 1]
And the buildings stand empty, yet they still stand
Stand in the way of progress
And the bulldozers come to make their mark
And the riot police, they're all lurking in the dark
The last bastion of true freedom
The freeloaders and squatters on the land
The artists and students, the riff-raff and lowlife
These buildings have no future and they know it

[Verse 2]
And there is a plan, an incredible plan
To build up the city of the future
And all we must do is make these buildings disappear
And then their way, it is perfectly clear
We're all in the same project together
We speak the same language of economics
And it makes a lot of sense, and it makes a lot of dollars
And if it makes a lot of homeless with no future, so what?

[Verse 3]
That the towers will be built is not debated
We hear them babbling in the press
Words like urban planning and revitalization
They take away their homes and give them housing instead
Though they have the gift of tongues, they have no love
Only the clanging of the factory bell
Destroying the beauty, the chaos, the understanding
That is learned from that school called no future

[Verse 4]
And what doth it profit a man to leave another homeless?
We who dare question this vanity
Know that a prophet is not without honor
Except among family in its own country
Without the past there can be no future
The man ranting on the corner's been misunderstood
They have destroyed his past and given him no future
They look at their creation and they say it is good

[Outro]
No future
No future
No future
No future
