Leavin' Here

Living in the city, no tree no sky

Oh my word ain't heard

No crickets in the a long while

The concrete island and the plastic style

Hey, there's another pair of

Over-loved and under-pitied hipsters

I believe that's Miss and Mister Shitty Disposition

I'd be wishing they believed in anything at all

Leavin' here to be gone away

Far away is too near

Yesterday ain't soon enough

Breathin' easy in the free clean breeze

Land sakes, the cloth that I am cut from

Young, dumb, hip middle-class

White people by the buttload

Yuppies piled in faster than the Towers imploded

Now it's all been polished up

And dolled up and sold

For the zombie fops to shop in

Who can't afford hello no more... no howdy-do

Their so faux cool, they rule

Up in the greatest town on earth

Where I found there's a dirth of anything

Vaguely resembling greatness, considering

Greatness is a mountain

Greatness is a sea, The Unstruck Sound, The One

Man, greatness can't be

Pounded out of the pavement

Greatness ain't made, it ain't even found

It finds you and shines through

Leavin' here to be gone away

Far away is too near

Yesterday ain't soon enough

Breathin' easy in the free clean breeze

Land sakes, the cloth that I am cut from

Ya'll can get on after it

I give you my blessing

I'm guessing that I can't be stressing

Over this hear mess no more

Gonna stoke my sould in the moonlight

Gonna practice what I preach

The sun and cactus gonna teach me

And I remember who I am

Leavin' here to be gone away

Far away is too near

Yesterday ain't soon enough

Breathin' easy in the free clean breeze

Land sakes, the cloth that I am cut from
