Lawrence Arms 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. 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.
