Sign me up for a big house
on half of an acre
we’re moving out the suburbs
on a white migration
it’s not a sense of adventure
‘cause we’re done with the frontier
but I can’t live in the city
I’ll be renting ‘til I grow old
constant reminders
of the bigger picture
right on your doorstep
misfortune and injustice
there’s no denying
when you’re faced with this each day...
and now I’m moving away
out here there’s a standard
an expected appearance
they might have an opinion,
(but) you’re unlikely to hear it
I’m done talking to people
and now I don’t have don’t have to
you can’t hear them at all
my neighbor can scream ‘til her face turns blue
constant reminders
of the shitty picture
right out your window
misfortune and injustice
there’s no denying
when you’re faced with this each day…
now I’m moving away
if everyone that I know
took a leaf from Thoreau
there’d be no place left to go
this city’s really gonna miss me
