Eighteen people living in harmony


The opera is over, singers have all gone home,
Seats are empty, the kitchen is closed,

The sidewalks are sprayed down,
The blinds are pulled down, foundations unstable,
The wrecking ball's back,
Quiet business vacancy, quiet business vacancy.

Rents are rising, our lease is up, culture is down.

The symphony's concluded,
The instruments are all cased up,
The notes are silent, music's still apparent.

Rents are rising, our lease is up,
Culture is down, spirits are jaded,

Art is dying, is art dead?
Art is dying, is art dead?
Believe it, we need to move on.

A one track mind in a one way time,
Let's go ahead and gentrify,
We let art die with robot minds,
They steal the brush and paint boundary lines.
A stale kind of people we'll find,
Walking in single file line,
I think it's time we finally rewind,
Let's go ahead, we might as well

Rents are rising, our lease is up,
Culture is down, spirits are jaded

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics EIGHTEEN PEOPLE LIVING IN HARMONY of DREDG is also present in the album El cielo (2002)

Biografia

Dredg is an American progressive/alternative rock band formed in 1993 in Los Gatos, California. The band consists of vocalist Gavin Hayes, guitarist Mark Engles, bassist Drew Roulette and drummer/keyboardist Dino Campanella. Hayes and Roulette, passionate about art, have always incorporated artistic elements, particularly painting, into their albums and concerts. Dredg is known for its complex and experimental sound, which blends influences from progressive rock, alternative metal and post-rock. Among the most representative songs are "The Pariah", "Bug Eyes" and "Underneath the Waves". Their debut album "Beneath the Beneath" (2002) marked the beginning of their rise in the underground music scene, followed by "Quince" (2005), an even more mature and experimental work.
