lyrics

I took a walk into the city
I took a walk to see the places that we dwell
between the cracks in the sidewalks
our houses kind of
look more like hotels

'cause all our front yards have fences
and all our windows have secure fit iron bars
we like to say "love thy neighbor"
but we really don't
wanna try that hard

I'm tired of the houses that we're building
tearing all our neighbors to the ground
and I don't wanna deconstruct our city
and I don't wanna let nobody down

I wanna help you find your last dog
I wanna go and see my friends band play downtown
don't wanna life here just indifferent
I wanna be better than I am now

so I will make a life in my house
and you will go ahead and make a life in yours
but if we're good to each other
maybe we can at least unlock our doors

I'm tired of the houses that we're building
tearing all our neighbors to the ground
and I don't wanna deconstruct our city
and I don't wanna let nobody down

let's take a walk into the city
let's take a walk into the city
show me the way into the city

I'm tired of the houses that we're building
tearing all our neighbors to the ground
and I don't wanna deconstruct our city
and I don't wanna let nobody down
