Cling clang goes a yellow bull dozer
They call it progress
But it's really a mess
Tear it down build it up
Tear it down build it up
Fill all spaces with concrete and steel
Always looking for
A beetle on its back
Did you find one?
A beetle on its back
So you found one?
In need of assistance
Get - the - land
And sweep it clean
There's always something
Out in the distance
A hammer pounding
Trees falling down
There's something out there
Gleaming in the distance
Fill all spaces with concrete and steel
Oh how nice,
They're always building something
What a pretty sight,
They're always building something
Always building something
Progress is important
For civil advancement
But some times I want to have
A picnic on a lawn
Me-oh my
A picnic on a lawn
Is it too much to ask for?
A picnic on a lawn
Oh how nice,
They're always building something
What a pretty sight,
They're always building something
Always building something
Oh how nice,
They're always building something
What a pretty sight,
They're always building something
Always building something
Always building something
Always building something
Always building something
Always building something
