Where the Bottles Break

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 blasts
 I paint my claim up on the wall
 Four blocks from the steel mill blasts
 I paint my claim
 From my end of the southside drag
 It's a common thought to call the cops
 Further west it's been gentrified
 They turned biker bars into flower shops
 I kind of miss those Harley guys
 Who rarely did a body harm
 They mostly liked to drink and shout
 And flash the pictures on their arms

 It happens when the money come
 The wild and poor get pushed aside
 It happens when the money come
 The poor get pushed
 The buyers come from somewhere else
 And 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 and people jump
 Ask how high low-life Donald what's-his-name
 And who cares
 I don't wanna know what his girlfriend doesn't wear
 It's 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
 People aren't saints
 No people just are
 They wanna feel like they count

 I just wanna make enough
 To buy this town and keep it rough
 I just wanna make enough
 To buy this town

 You get rich and you still die
