This huge construction project could change the character of areas
On this road forever
That's the worry at least to people once known as tin pan alley
You found a carousel to ride around
But you get bored so you tear it down
Like a kid in a playground putting sand in their mouth
Spit it out when you're feeling fickle
And I want to say it shouldn't work that way
People's lives ain't a game just coz you can pay
Smoking your big fat cigar
Tweed hat cravat and four birds on your arm
I'm just a tin pan boy do you want to take that toy
Hey
You Mr. Developer
Hey
You Mr. Developer
You're just a tin town toy a big fat boy
Hey
You Mr. Inheritor
Crook Hook Mr. Proprietor
You kick the small kid off the monkey bars
Take your mess out of his specs and the size of his arm
Force him to dress in black then make him hold your holster
Whilst you shoot in the back
You will say I'm only writing songs
Son get off of your are and get a proper job
And snigger at my beat up boots
But I tell you Sir I'm coming after you in fiction
I'm just a tin pan boy please don't take my toys
Hey You Mr. Developer
Hey You Mr. Developer
You're just a tin town toy a big fat boy
Hey You Mr. Inheritor Mr. Proprietor
I'm just a tin pan boy please don't take my toys
You're just a tin town toy a big fat boy
Hey
Hey boy
