The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The West Ends" from While We're At It (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary:
"A very short walk, but its block after block,
Brutalist buildings beyond the shock,
Cement and the steel and the zero appeal,
If this was where you called home, then how would you feel?
"Urban renewal, demolition, and the Act of Contrition,
'Why would you live here in this condition?'
Why would you say that? This is our home!
The West End's the best, then won't they just leave us alone?
Why won't they just leave us alone?
"This is not squalor,
It's dollar to dollar,
We don't care about status
Or color or collar,
This is not poverty,
We don't live in the slums,
We are the working class poor
And we're not just derelict bums…"
