All We Are Saying: GIVE CAMBRIDGE A CHANCE!

protest

(Sung to the Tune “Give Peace A Chance)

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ ’bout

F.A.R.’S, lots of cars, noisy bars, packed subway cars

Me-ism, my-ism, finger-in-your-eye-ism

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

 

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ ’bout

City towers, commutes for hours, fewer flowers,

Millionaires, couldn’t-cares, worst-fears

My tears, your tears

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

 

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ ’bout

Greedy petitions, gentrified visions,

Politicians, mass evictions, sell your convictions

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

 

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ ’bout

Goody-Clancy, councilors antsy

Zoning giveaways, gridlocked roadways

Poor folks, go away!

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

 

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ ’bout

Better Cambridge, bigger buildings, lower taxes

Bigger messes, taking guesses, smokey air, no families here

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance

All we are saying—give Cambridge a chance
