A parody of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, dedicated to the City of Hamilton.
We're no strangers to red tape
I don't know the rules and neither do you
A big investment's what I'd like to make
You'd rather let it go down the tube
I just wanna tell you how frustrating
It is when you don't understand
Never gonna build this up
Always gotta tear things down
Making room to drive around without stopping
Never gonna shrink this lane
Never gonna take the blame
Never gonna stop the demo man from chopping
I've sought this permit for so long
My wallet's empty but you're not shy to shake it
Inside we both know this is just so wrong
We know the game and I'm too broke to play it
Though you never ask me how I'm feeling
I hope my frustration's clear to see
Never gonna build this up
Always gotta tear things down
Making room to drive around without stopping
Never gonna shrink this lane
Never gonna take the blame
Never gonna stop the demo man from chopping
This setback is a setback
You still insist on this parking requirement
Your cash in lieu will break my back
This isn't good for the urban environment
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Even though you don't understand
