lyrics
Look at you there
Up on your throne
Describing life on the pavement
All on your own
But when have you been there?
When are you going?
Eating shit with a silver spoon
Is all that you've known
Tell me again how the slums got so much soul
Tell me again how the slums got so much soul
Gentrification
Man that's your favorite word
But nobody's listening
It's like they've already heard
Plus they're probably thinking
"Man what gives him the right?
Isn't he the real problem?
How does he sleep at night?"
Tell me again how the slums got so much soul
Tell me again how the slums got so much soul
