N.I.M.B.Y. (not in my back yard)

Everyoneagrees it’s a good idea,

Onethat will reap a real benefit.

Justdon’t put it in my back yard.

That’ssomething I simply will not permit.

 

Now,I’m not heartless, don’t you know?

Ifeel compassion for those folk,

ButI don’t want them in MY neighborhood.

MyGod! I think I’d have a stroke

 

IfI had to associate, or

Evenpass them on the street. No.

Letthem find someplace where

Indiscretionisn’t indiscreet.

 

What?You think I’m insincere?

Yousay that I’m a hypocrite?

Myfriend, I have you know that

Iam totally the opposite.

 

Idon’t mind if you have your way.

I’lleven stand as your vanguard.

Go!Build the project of your dreams…

Justnot in my back yard.
