What have they done to my town
Is this the place I used to know?
No friendly faces as I look around
I guess they moved out long ago
What have they done to my town
Where are the fields I used to run?
It seems they've covered every piece of ground
With buildings oh so high they hide the sun
And there's a freeway where the playground used to be
The park has gone, my God, they haven't left a tree
The birds have flown away, they had no place to fly
And the seven forty sevens took away the sky
What have they done to my town?
The world has changed before my eyes
I just don't know the streets I wander down
It's just the names I recognize
I guess I stayed away too long
Perhaps my coming back was wrong
I'm just a stranger with a memory
So it makes no sense to hang around
And there's a freeway where the playground used to be
The park has gone, my God, they haven't left a tree
The birds have flown away, they had no place to fly
And the seven forty sevens took away the sky
And there's a freeway where the playground used to be
The park has gone, my God, they haven't left a tree
The birds have flown away, they had no place to fly
And the seven forty sevens took away the sky
What have they done to my town
(What have they done) What have they done to my town
(What have they done) What have they done to my town
(What have they done) What have they done to my town
(What have they done) What have they done to my town
(What have they done)
