High Rise

When city life has got you down
And all day, you search around
Get on your feet and off the ground
Let’s move into a high rise
City life can drive you mad
I’ve seen it happen, it’s so sad
Just log out, stop checking ads
And move into a high rise
Who needs community?
Not me and you or you and me
Swimming pools all in our suite
Beats the view on College Street
Who needs these shops and schools?
Not you and me or me and you
Baby girl, you know it’s true
We’re moving to a high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Let’s move into a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Hundred thousand over asking
Home destruction, no compassion
Call your M. P
No reaction, disrespected
Looking glass, misdirected
More construction
Overconsumption, mass defection
So disruptive, disconnected
Cash reduction
Ask them why, get interrupted
More distractions, slow production
More corruption
Priced out, lights out, great heights, low view
White flight
Trying times, highly dense, private lives
Rising rent, open house
Bidding war, working poor
Massive debt, family loan, overstressed
Gentrifier, take me higher
Sell it to the richest buyer
Who needs community?
Not me and you or you and me
Swimming pools all in our suite
Beats the view on College Street
Who needs these shops and schools?
Not you and me or me and you
Baby girl, you know it’s true
We’re moving to a high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Let’s move into a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
City life can be so grim
Gets so hard to see your friends
Weekends spent inside the gym
The one that’s in our high rise
Waking up and seeing clouds
Lose the need to be house-proud
Get over the underground
Come see us in our high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
Let’s move into a high rise, high rise
Moving to a high rise, high rise
