One constant is change Take these words rearrange All this change bringing pain But it's changing just the same Outside I see a battle for the heart of the city Every part of the city North Beach Mission Street Mission Cliffs Mission E8ats On a mission in The Mission painting pictures never missing no details Like a mural in the mission got a funny premonition In a few years the Mission gonna be boring Like the missionary position Overused pretty boys no views Sitting solo in Dolo sipping from a solo cup You know what's up? How many of us been here more than 2 years? How many of us been here more than 5? Locals mortified saying yeah there's more to life than Money money money, but money makes the world turn Talking to a local hey man you feel burned? City in a chokehold New kids new money earned Mission street make a left turn He left me with a lesson learned One constant is change Take these words rearrange All this change bringing pain But it's changing just the same He said look. This a gold rush town Tech money is a gold rush now He said look. Look around You might find money but the lost won't be found He said look. This a gold rush town Tech money is a gold rush now He said look. Look around You might find money but the lost won't be found Other locals saying this exactly what they warned about Feeling like a pair of blue jeans feeling worn out You calling it a battle they say the heart's been torn out Now the Google buses here they can't afford a house So they up on Google Maps trying to figure out Best place to protest the google bus routes Like covering a wound once you're already bleeding out Damn it feels different when you see the stats you read about Read about how the cities changing each day Locals can't even afford a house in the East Bay Shit, I can't afford a house in the East Bay Either way, I'm here to stay I smelled him when I walked by I usually don't stop but I Caught his eye tanned skin tired lines I said how bout change for a story He said how about a story about change? One constant is change Take these words rearrange All this change bringing pain But it's changing just the same He said look. This a gold rush town Tech money is a gold rush now He said look. Look around You might find money but the lost won't be found He said look. This a gold rush town Tech money is a gold rush now He said look. Look around You might find money but the lost won't be found We know the housing costs are killing people And it's choking folks and we gotta do more to get housing built
