INDIRIMBO HOME IMPROVEMENT BY ya JOSH WOODWARD NI IYI

Well, you know I was a farmer when I was a younger man

Until the fields got paved with asphalt and they took away my land

And now the monument before us, it stands so tall and proud

A glorious new minimall upon the earth that I once plowed

 I sold my house out in the country to rent a trailor by the mall

It's not so bad except the kitchen's just a little small

I got a job at the local hardware store, where I work till five o'clock

But now they built another home improvement palace down the block

 What's the sense of all this home improvement

I liked my home the way it was before

If this is what our town has come to stand for

I don't think we need improvement anymore

 I lost my job at the hardware store when the owner closed it down

He said the rent was just too high to keep his family in this town

He sold his house to an executive, who tore it down to build anew

A million dollar mansion with a $20 view

 What's the sense of all this home improvement

I liked my home the way it was before

If this is what our town has come to stand for

I don't think we need improvement anymore

 Someday this town will reach its goal and everyone will have

A Mercedes in the driveway of their subdivision land

Clear the way for progress by demolishing the past

But we need another steakhouse like a hole in the head
