lirik lagu fjaere nilssen - on opening day
on opening day fjaere nilssen
maybe he would approve
maybe he would just move
maybe he would behoove
in the old~fashioned way
many would close their eyes
many not be surprised
accepting the new resize:
the old could not stay
so they tore down the bungalows and the art decos
and the tract homes went under the big bulldoze
and up went the superblocks. no one too shocked. no comments were made
on opening day
maybe the grass won’t mind
maybe the birds will find
maybe the trees aligned
in the public park
where sycamores and pines
can steadily incline
citizens can unwind
at least until it’s dark
as investors put their labors
where they won’t be neighbors
life by the numbers
from the wall street papers
and up go portfolios. as everybody knows. no comments were made
on opening day
i saw the little tramp
he slept where it wasn’t damp
beside an old off~ramp
by the 101
tossing his bowler hat so high
nods to the cars passing by
“buck up and never say die!”
though he speaks to no one
while high in the superblocks
bunking up in bags and cots
kids come for their one big shot
becoming the next hollywood face
well, we can all be replaced
the trick is not to feel erased
