lyrics
Nothing but a hole in the ground-Lyrics & Music by Jim Heltz
They announced it in the papers
With Promises 14 stories high
It will transform our Queen City
But it was all just pie in the sky
They bulldozed all the buildings
And laid it all to waste
Hold your breath for the future
With an empty city place
Dig it up throw it out Dig it up throw it out
Until you have nothing but a hole in the ground,
Hole in the ground
Hole in the ground
Will they be remembered
Politicians of Burling-town?
Oh yeah they’ll be remembered
For nothing but a hole in the ground
Dig it up throw it out Dig it up throw it out
Until you have nothing but a hole in the ground
Hole in the ground
Hole in the ground
250 million dollars
It could help a lot of folks when spread around
But in land known as the Queen City
All it could buy was a hole in the ground
All it could buy was a hole in the ground
Nothing but a hole in the ground
