To the people on Birmingham Planning Committee
I just want to say, what the hell have you done to our City
You stole all our landmarks like thieves in the night
You daint even ask us, now I just don't think that's right
You've done more damage than two world wars
The decisions you made were totally yours
You altered the Centre and tore it apart
You removed its spirit and ripped out its heart
Wheres all the treasures and statues we knew
They are gone forever and its all down to you
You cannot rest easy in bed as your sleeping
The sounds that awake you are our ancestors weeping
Its us Brummies who keep you in your jobs of high power
As we expect more of you, your standards get lower
There are not many old buildings to preserve and retain
But we'll keep on fighting till we make Brum a great City again.
