Here Comes The Neighbourhood

Lyrics

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
 And 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 down to Augusta
 Everybody's all the same
 It's a playground fueled by beer
 No Chicagoans live here.
 It's geography bound tightly by big city dreams.
 When the property value's raised you'll be on your merry ways
 Like the poor outclassed families before you
 You've already paved
 Ashland to Western Chicago to North Avenue
 Congratulations kids, your shallow model city is sinking.
 You've become what you swore that you'd never be.
