Jeff about Slumlord: “I lived in an apartment in Brooklyn, and we were paying for the lightbulbs and stuff in the hallway, which you’re not supposed to. That’s a common space. It’s the landlord’s job. So we called them up to tell them to fix this problem… Somebody walked into our apartment building,...
Mold and mice and stolen bikes
And a van everybody wants to break into
Dirty halls and holey walls
And a door I'm afraid I can't buzz you in through
But I'll be away
I'm gonna be away tomorrow
I swear I'm gonna find a place
I gotta do this right and find a better place
The super stares
'Cause we're on the roof and drinking beers
I don't care
Take a photograph if you want to
I ain't giving you shit, and I ain't paying my rent
'Til I got hot water and my toilet gets fixed
I don't care
You can try to kick me out if you want to
'Cause I'll be away
I'm gonna be away tomorrow
I swear I'm gonna find a place
I'm gonna do this right and find a place
And I will tell my slumlord to get out of my face
I get the world, you get nothing
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm not giving you shit. I'm not paying my rent
And I will tell my slumlord to get out of my face
I get the world, you get nothing
He ain't getting a thing from you and me
We deserve to be happy
Fuck this place
We're living in a dead city
And I will tell my slumlord to get out of my face
I get the world, you get nothing
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm not giving you shit. I'm not paying the rent
And I will tell my slumlord to get out of my face
I get the world, you get nothing
He ain't getting a thing from you and me
You get nothing
He ain't getting a thing from you and me
You get nothing
He ain't getting a thing from me
