Your Neighborhood

You look out your window

Out at your neighborhood

You don’t know if it mind

You don’t know if it could

It’d be such a shame if this whole place burnt to a crisp

Turn back into a child when you

Smell the fresh-cut lawn

Feels like you’re all the way back

Where you first come from

Run ‘round til you’re tired just like it’s what you used to do

But oh, how the people have changed

Oh, how the stayed just the same

And the air that I breathed since I was a kid

Has gotten me high on a small-town wish

There’s plenty of dangers

In the theaters and the books

So burn all the witches

Lock up all the crooks

You wonder where the Hell it could have all gone wrong

Still wake up in the morning

Wincing at the clock

Neighbor still walks the same damn dog

‘Round and ‘round the block

I swear to God the water’s fine, it’s just a touch of lead

But oh, you know we’re doing just fine

You know it’s been this way all the time

A place of transgressions erased from the maps

And never again am I ever coming back

Oh, ain’t it a shame

Oh, ain’t that a shame
