They're so proud of this city's history

Like an old war hero reveling in his faded glory

But the present day, that's another story

The old buildings they're so proud of are crumbling down

And the condos in the picturesque part of town

Are sinking, sinking into the bay



But that's the way I like it

Don't want a utopian society

Yeah, it's far from perfect

It's all fucked up and two-faced just like me



The quaint scenery can't hide the fact

That it's a cultureless wasteland

But they're so proud of what they lack

They're so proud... of what?

Proud of such a nice little suburbia

Still living in the shadow of the Zodiac Killer

Maybe it was the toxins in the water



Well you can't beat the cheap rent

Who needs water or electricity?

We're all far from perfect

And now we got our own hypocritical community



Yeah, raise a family

Hang out and watch T.V.

And go and feed the Grebes

Unt. Unt. Unt.
