I live in a neighborhood were Even if you got a job You’re still barely getting by Hardly get to live your life When your bosses can work you Anytime they like Any shift day, or night, Part, full, or overtime While the yard gets grassy Cops come passing out ordinance tickets Frisbees float away falling into thickets Surrounded by various forms of scrap metal While bricks once baked and harden Crumble to dust The foundation cracks and busts And your house comes crumbling down Letting critters come and go This is my block What a shocking show

Where I Used To Live
I live in a neighborhood were Even if you got a job You’re still barely getting by Hardly get to live your life When your bosses can work you Anytime they like Any shift day, or night, Part, full, or overtime While the yard gets grassy Cops come passing out ordinance tickets Frisbees float away falling into thickets Surrounded by various forms of scrap metal While bricks once baked and harden Crumble to dust The foundation cracks and busts And your house comes crumbling down Letting critters come and go This is my block What a shocking show
