Bang Goes The Neighbourhood

Lived there where I was born
Still hear my mothers call
She was calling me in
when the dinner was on the table

Shattered memories
the things have passed
I should have known
that they can’t last

I would have kept them alive
if only I was able

There’s a nigger moving in next door
There’s a nigger moving in and that’s not good
Bang goes the neighbourhood

Now I’ve grown and I moved away
I came to visit many a day and
I could see the time of dangers
It was coming..
When we were kids
We played in the park
Now we don’t go out after dark
A Nation is beaten and hatred is coming

There’s a nigger moving in next door
There’s a nigger moving in and that’s not good
Bang goes the neighbourhood

And now it’s changed so much it’s died
All them politicians lied
They wouldn’t know the truth
If it stood before their eyes
Well they ruining your area
and they ruin your lives
Turn your back and in goes a knife
And they don’t care if your nation lives or dies

There’s a nigger moving in next door
There’s a nigger moving in and that’s not good
Bang goes the neighbourhood
