I walk where the bottles break |
|
And the blacktop still comes back for more |
|
I walk where the bottles break |
|
And the blacktop still comes back |
|
I live where the neighbors yell |
|
And their music comes up through the floor |
|
I live where the neighbors yell |
|
And their music wakes me up |
|
Life beyond the playground fence |
|
Is serious as Basketball |
|
Life beyond the playground fence |
|
Is serious |
|
Four blocks from the steel mill blast |
|
I paint my claim up on the wall |
|
Four blocks from the steel mill blast |
|
I paint my claim |
|
From my end of the southside drag |
|
Its a common thought to call the cops |
|
Further west its been gentrified |
|
They turned biker bars into flower shops |
|
I kind of miss those Harley guys |
|
How rarely did a body harm |
|
They mostly liked to drink and shout |
|
And flash the pictures on their arms |
|
It happens wen the money comes |
|
The wild and poor get pushed aside |
|
It happens wen the money comes |
|
The poor get pushed |
|
The buyers come from somewhere else |
|
They raise the rent so you can't hide |
|
The buyers come from out of state |
|
And they raise the rent |
|
Buy low, sell high |
|
You get rich and you still die |
|
Money talks, people jump |
|
Ask how high low life Donald what's his names |
|
And who cares? |
|
I don't wanna know what his girlfriend doesn't wear |
|
Its a shame that the people at work |
|
Wanna hear about this kind of jerk |
|
These people aren't saints |
|
No, people just are |
|
They wanna feel like they count |
|
They wanna ride in their own car |
|
These people aren't saints |
|
No, people just are |
|
They wanna feel like they count |
|
They wanna ride in their own car |
|
I just want to make enough |
|
To buy this town and keep it rough |
|
I just want to make enough |
|
To buy this town |
|
Buy low, sell high |
|
You get rich and you still die |
|
Money talks, people jump |
|
Ask how high low life Donald what's his names |
|
I walk where the bottles break |
|
And the blacktop still comes back for more |
|
I walk where the bottles break |
|
And the blacktop still comes back |
|
I live where the neighbors yell |

And their music comes up through the floor |

I live where the neighbors yell |
|
And their music wakes me up |
|
Life beyond the playground fence |
|
Is serious as Basketball |
|
Life beyond the playground fence |
|
Is serious |
|
I walk,I live, My life, I hide |
|
Where the bottles break |
|
By the playground fence |
|
Where the neighbors yell |
|
Where they raise our rents |
|
Where the bottles break |
|
By the playground fence |
|
By the steel mill blast |
|
Where they raise our rents |
