Landmarks in peril sound the alarm
Old New York is losing its charm
Neighborhood treasures disappear
Demotion inevitable, this I fear
The Sunshine Cinema closed for good
Petitioners wondered not understood
The walls of sacred places on the log
And the 168-year old Hagadol Synagogue
Structures keep vanishing each year
Losing our color past is very clear
The wrecking ball struck a 173-old
Building on East Houston Street
The old city is quickly swept away
All that was wonderful in its day
Stamping out the varied landscape
For rising glass places in the sky
Why, Why Why do let us rally and protest
Save the varied urban landscape at its best.
All that makes New York City unique
The wrecking ball continues to deplete.
