ALTERNATIVE BELFAST

ALTERNATIVE BELFAST

What have we got here, another daft architectural  idea.
We'll built a lot of units call them alternative.
Of course the natives of Belfast won't be consulted.
They'll just have to accept it's for the best, that we
are able and ready to offer them an alternative city.

Of course it's been done before and failed, don't mention that.
Tell the future residents they'll be near their work.
Of course there isn't any work, don't mention that.
An alternative utopian society where everyone who
buys into it will end up needing psychiatry -don't mention that.
An alternative City of no hope, what-Don't mention that.

Just tell ‘the people' it will all be fine, of course fine means
Fucked up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional-Don't mention that.
The residents will find, burglaries proliferate, for Gods sake-
don't mention that they will end up rejecting our alternative Belfast.
We can't have that, we'll have to tell ‘the people' and we will
mention that, it's the only way forward, An alternative Belfast.
