evan bouwens - battle hymn for rural urbanists lyrics

[intro]
(let’s go!)
one, two, one two three four!

[verse 1]
i’m probably not the sort of guy you’d rather listen to:
how can i understand your plight with such a privileged view?
but ap geo units 5 and 6 have shown me that:
the cities and the farms alike are under serious threat
so rural farmers, if you want to save your farm from new
development encroaching, denser cities aren’t who
wish you harm. we share a common enemy, we fear
so let’s join forces here!

[chorus]
glory glory hallеlujah!
urban planning is the future!
public transit is the answеr!
and mixed+use neighborhoods!

[verse 2]
the biggest threat to rural places is suburban sprawl
whose inefficient land use is a detriment to all
unlike a farm where food is grown there’s nothing there but grass
and unlike cities, nothing’s made by economic process
suburbia’s a soulless void where giant houses stand
unsustainably consuming fertile agricultural land
if they all lived in cities they’d take up ten times less sp+ce
so farms they won’t displace!
[chorus]
glory glory hallelujah!
urban planning is the future!
public transit is the answer!
and mixed+use neighborhoods!

[verse 3]
more denser cities are the answer to all human woes
so residents don’t have to drive to where they want to go
if we can halt the spread and sprawl of inefficient land
the cities and the farms alike will benefit hand+in+hand!
so join the urban planning movement, we’re a funny bunch!
we ride the bus to diners to have scrambled eggs for lunch!
our mottos are “let’s go build trains quick in america!”
and “would this be light rail?”

[chorus]
glory glory hallelujah!
urban planning is the future!
public transit is the answer!
and mixed+use neighborhoods!
glory glory hallelujah!
urban planning is the future!
public transit is the answer!
and mixed+use neighborhoods!
new urbanism’s good!
