lyrics

Neutralize all high art
fleeing to my city
and coming in from high park
your white eyes in the midst
of my story ark
im older now
left my boring mark

i finally have a higher amont of cash in my wallet than my age
and if i buy a house now am i just adding to this space
or am i taking away from the people who actually need it
if i love mt own city am a contributing are helping defeat it
shits all built on mental health
empark parking lots
and effort trust is building hell
artisan beers help no one accomplish shit
except milenials grow more pernials
on top of the roofs of lofts
thats it

a sea of alcoholics
drowning in nostalgic problems

we just pretend
that they aren't in the same mind frame
as the capitalist that bought us off
we all have indy bands
support luxottica brand
and pretend their ray-bans arn't just repackage Oakleys

we complain about the system be recreate it openly
so supposedly if i hate this space
than i can properly help replace the page
cause you can't build love on top of burnt books
but you can fill in landfills to place new kietchy nooks

we've already destroyed it
we cant build it back up
so if we burn it down than now
we can genuinly giving a fuck


and if you decide that you want to be
bigger than your own size
and money hungry
than come on down
to my city
cause they are giving away
homeless peoples property

and no one is stopping
cause we
believe
that a good economy
is built on tourism
and clean streets
we already gentrified utopia
so im hoping that we
can create an economy
where we can finally
be owned by large shell companies
