[Verse 1]
Why does the city have no place to play, where the youth can stay?
Dance to the music that we all embrace
If we could sing along, share a special song, listen to the sounds that would shape our wrongs

[Chorus]
We know, they won't be listening, so we set up our very own shows
Backyards, and basements, and homes, do the politicians even know?

[Verse 2]
Why does the city have no place to play, but the bars can stay?
Fill the streets with litter, that's a crime to pay
If we could sing along, share a special song, listen to the sounds that would share our wrongs

[Chorus]
We know, they won't be listening, so we set up our very own shows
Backyards, and basements, and homes, do the politicians even know?

[Bridge]
There's a progress we can see
Maybe just a faded dream

[Chorus]
So we set up our very own shows
Backyards, and basements, and homes, do the politicians even know?
Do the politicians even know?
Do the politicians even know?
Do the politicians even know?
