Cranes, Humongous Cranes

Year 2018
Songwriter Linda Jansen
To the tune of “Food, Glorious Food” Cranes, humongous cranes All over the city. They’re not building for us That's really a pity. Hey, City Council please play fair (pause) You work for us all (spoken: right?). Build public housing for all. It’s up to you. Answer our call! They knock down our homes And put up new towers Can’t afford that place Even working 40 hours Hey, City Council please play fair (pause) You work for us all (spoken: right?). Build public housing for all. It’s up to you. Answer our call!
