The Lawrence Arms

The Lawrence Arms - Here comes the neighborhood lyrics

Your rating:

I work on Belmont,
But I live in Wicker Park

All my friends are bartenders in all the coolest bars
My girlfriend's in the coolest band
That you've ever seen
They play the empty bottle every week

I've got everything I need
My loft,
My motorcycle,
My hip restaurant down the street
All my neighbors are all artists
Or hot girls over 18
Who needs community when you live right in your scene?

From jinx to Betty's blue star,
Everybody knows my name
From north avenue to Augusta
Everybody's all the same

It's a playground fueled by beer
No Chicagoans live here
It's a playground fueled by beer
No Chicagoans live here

It's geography
Bound tightly
By big city dreams
It's geography
Bound tightly
By big city dreams

And when the property values raised
You'll be on your merry ways
Like the poor outclassed families before you
You've finally paved
Ashland to western Chicago to north ave

Congratulations kids,
Your shallow model city is sinking
Sinking down
Congratulations kids,
Your shallow model city is sinking
Sinking down

You've become what you swore that you'd never be
