	作词 : Morris, Reid
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	This is my neighborhood
	This is where I come from
	I call this place my home
	You call this place a slum
	You wanna run the people out
	This is what you're all about
	Treat poor people just like trash
	Turn around and make big cash
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	Last month there was a fire
	I saw seven children die
	You sent flowers to their families
	But your sympathy's a lie
	'Cause every building that you burn
	Is more blood money that you earn
	We are forced to relocate
	From the pain that you create
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	We lived here for so many years
	Now this house is full of fear
	For a profit you will take control
	Where will all the older people go?
	There used to be when kids could play
	Without the scourge of drug's decay
	Now our kids are living dead
	They crack and blow their lives away
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	Now you can tear a building down
	But you can't erase a memory
	These houses may look all run down
	But they have a value you can't see
	You've got to fight
	You've got to fight
	You've got to fight
	For your neighborhood
	You've got to fight
	For your neighbor
