Here Comes The Neighbourhood

Lawrence Arms (The)
(album: Ghost Stories)

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. Iive 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 ound tightly by big city dreams. and 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.
