The recording is a little out of tune, but it's closer to standard E tuning than it is to Eb.

Now theres more people everywhere,
and on ground that once was bare
they've built condos and shopping malls.

The concrete stretches for miles
They put it up in different styles,

What a Pity, They've fucked up this city
where I grew up.
Now it's grown too big and there's no room left for me.

The rest is a repeat of these parts.  End on A.
