Buildings from Warszawa by Point Reyes

These are the buildings
Fat and square and ugly
They marched east from Moscow
To Ulan Ude and Beijing
They marched west from Moscow
To Wroclaw and Berlin

In all of these cities they look exactly the same
Oh, "machines for living"

We will bulldoze your village
And you will live in them
Villages of under 1,000
Are completely illogical
I don't care if your grandfather built your house
This is progress

I've got some plans for our old courtyard
360 degrees of concrete
I'm just going to go and sit there
So much surface
Andy would have
Andy would have
Andy Warhol would have loved it

It doesn't matter how they look
It's what you can do in them
You can rehearse a play
Stanislavski did
You can make picked cucumbers
You can make love
You can turn off the television and dance
You can wash your dog

I've got some plans for our new apartment
I'm going to build it out of concrete slabs
From one of those old buildings
Re-use all that energy
Not too much surface
Andy wouldn't have
Andy wouldn't have
Andy Warhol wouldn't have loved it
Oh well
