Text:
Verse 1
They built those walls, they climbed those towers,
Now age dissolves their ivory powers.
Their flats will open — gates unguarded,
But what remains when keys discard ed?

They say: “It’s change, it’s coming fast,”
But futures built on past ain’t meant to last.
Empty halls echo unclaimed dreams,
While streets bleed silent in between.

Pre-Chorus
So when the doors swing, who’s left to stand?
Shadowed lives will reclaim their land.

Chorus
It’s no good — when the rich relinquish their hold,
It’s no good — if the new don’t break the mold.
They hand down fortunes, but what do we own?
Empty spaces where souls once roamed.

(solo)

Verse 2
Baby boomers’ keys will fall like leaves,
A shifting tide no one perceives.
New hopes rush in, but filtered by greed,
And hearts shrink small in times of need.

I see the faces pushing in,
They chase a dream that soon wears thin.
Will their faith hold when walls go bare?
Or will it crack with vacant air?

Bridge (spoken / whispered)
“Not another squatter in my name,”
They shout, but their voices sound the same.
Change is silent, slow as dust —
But the land remembers, and hearts combust.

(solo)

Final Chorus
It’s no good — when the rich let go,
It’s no good — if the new don’t grow.
In empty homes and hollow walls —
We fight to hear the human calls.

Outro (soft, echo)
They open doors — but can we cross?
It’s no good…
It’s no good.
