lyrics

Verse:

Old Cambridge is dying
since they let my kind back in
now I lament the state of things

Charles River has flooded
there's running on the banks
a mile of cars with empty tanks

Chorus:

Down falls the wrecking ball
on the street where I grew up
I can't wait to see what comes
And if I should cry
won't you play this song for me
show me I knew better once

Verse:

The steeple churchbells
told us when to come
alas, they've all but been unrung

The zombie bookies,
calling in their debts
too late we've all be repossessed

Chorus:

Down falls the wrecking ball
on the street where I grew up
I can't wait to see what comes
And if I should cry
won't you play this song for me
show me I knew better once

Bridge:

I can take the Green Line
to a different place
see how things are going
in Jamaica Plain
