(Iain MacKintosh)
Hands off the old town, time we had a showdown
Ask the question loud and long, Why, why, why
An old house is taken down because it doesn't fit the plan
No one seems to give a damn - why, why, why
I looked where once a park had been - office blocks now fill the scene
The ground is grey instead of green - why, why, why
Trucks get bigger every day, so they build a new highway
You and me will have to pay - why, why, why
A motorway is needed next, said the planner, said the architect
So the town we love is wrecked - why, why, why
Supermarkets, motorways, hurry, hurry through the maze
Living in a concrete daze - why, why, why
Time we used our common sense, no time for sitting on the fence
Ask it loud and long, my friends - why, why, why
