Neighborhood Dissociation

This little strip full of prodigal shops
Tear down the mall build another on top
Buses of college kids boozed up and with dough to spend
Fifty year family shops turning into vapor dens
How do you know when the future's arrived?
When they take our doctors how will we survive?
Anger ball, strangle it, buy a drone and bury it
How heavy's the load and how long must we carry it?

Sober but anxious to prep for the storm
Cops closed that place where the queer kids perform
Rent goes up, isolate
Neighborhood dissociate
Brace yourself, look to the clouds for the sun to break
Angel of internet, Google is God
They bought a whole neighborhood for a song
Own the news, stoke the hate
Create the jobs then automate
Pray to the grocer who sold us the bread we ate

I'll move to Florida, take life as it goes
Vote in a swing state and quit playing shows
Fall asleep on the beach, hate the moon and love the heat
Call all my reps twice a week not to murder me
Maybe someday when our time finally comes
We'll be so strong we don't mess nothing up
Check the mirror just in case, force yourself to love your face
Plastic bags under your eyes start to be replaced
