What be happening in New B Town?
The corporation tore the ghetto down
Grandma's house was burnt to the ground
That's the way we're living now
Development hits like a bomb
What we knew now is gone
When human life becomes expendable
How can progress be commendable?
Underneath the bridge
This ain't no way to live
The streets they are your home
When you have no place to go
What be happening in New B Town?
The corporation tore the ghetto down
Grandma's house was burnt to the ground
That's the way we're living now
On the streets and on the run
To the southwest we chase the sun
Sleeping in our car under the bridge
Me, my wife and our two kids
Down along the tracks
There ain't no turning back
The highway is your home
When you've got no place to go
