Вступление
[Verse 1]
D A G
South Castell Avenue Masterplan is a mouthful
D A
We simply called it SCAM, perfectly descriptive and funny
D A
A pie in the sky graft the pocket plan for downtown
G
New Braunfels
D A G C
Andrew Douglas’s grand vision of what New Braunfels
D
should be
[Verse 2]
D A
It is what they call a Texas Donut
D A
A expensive parking garage surrounded by a cheap façade
D A G
That façade was stick construction condos with stucco
D
veneer
D A G C
Not only that but retail and a 4 story hotel on top our
D
convention center
[Verse 3]
D A
Two million square feet of development on 10 acres
D A
Disguised as the old city hall repurposing plan
D A
It made it a long ways totally unnoticed
D A G C D
Then that Changed it was now on the radar
[Verse 4]
D A
There was a city council meeting in July
A D
Over 200 were there
D A G
The raw raw chamber crowd and rest of us
G C D
It lasted 3 hours I was the last to speak
[Verse 5]
D A
After that meeting a group got together to oppose
D A G
To speak truth and stop this abomination of our down town
D A G
There were six main players, five experienced and me
G C A
WE met every week, wrote in the paper and got ready
D
for the next meeting
[Verse 6]
D A
We put a add in the paper, even posted sighs around town
D A
The mayor was not happy, I emailed him and said it was just me
D A G
A trip to the City manager’s office to get those signs
G C D
That meeting came, no chance to talk, they muffled us
[Verse 7]
D A
Several more meeting, finally the grand finale
D A
A dog and pony show with 20 tables of citizens
D A
Great sounding stuff but all totally pointless
G C A
Just a show to make it look like the public had some
D
input
[Verse 8]
D A
At the end of that meeting I finally had a chance to speak
D A
By now it was just me speaking out,
D A
I got up to speak, half the room walked out
G C A
I felt like I just called the winning name at a chamber
D
mixer
[Verse 9]
D A
Well that bloated overloaded leaking boat finally got floated
D A
Requests for proposal went out
D A
Not sure if any came back
G C A D
The numbers were so juiced, you just had to laugh.
[Verse 10]
D A
Well it died a natural death
D A
I will always remember those meetings
D A
People I looked up to , people took a stand, now and
D
many times before
G C A D
Two of them are now gone, we need more
[Outro]
D A
The SCAM never succeeded, a new chapter was
D
opened for me
D A D
The Lord is in charge, that’s where I learned he uses me
D A G
My only regret we never used that 40 foot tall banner
G C A
On top of a man lift, just to let people see what it
D
would all be
D A G
My only regret we never used that 40 foot tall banner
G C A
On top of a man lift, just to let people see what it
D
would all be
Double dropt D strummed Appalachian style
