Can I get a "Hell yeah!" for that?
This whole rebuilding train wreck should never have happened. It's been a farce from day one.
I can't remember who wrote this, but somebody posted it on a message board I used to hang out on, it's kind of a rebuilding- themed rewrite of "tubthumping" by chumbawumba.
They got knocked down!
Now we're afraid of them!
We're forever gonna keep them down...
They blocked the sun!
And took some streets away!
And inconvenienced our walks downtown!
Theyre design looked dumb!
But now we'll get our way!
Let's have some urban planning fun!
We hated them anyway....
And now that theyve gone away....
We want a mega-park
And no office space
All we care about
Are SM and a gov'ner's race!
L......M.D.C.
Is a disgrace
To N. Y. C.
It was intended to be a humorous parody, but it sums up the mess that the rebuilding has been quite well.
