Shooting Up the Neighborhood

trouble, like a puppy with rabies
shaking hands
kissing babies
it campaigns for your mind

you thought
that maybe you're crazy
but the things you hurt lately
they get more vicious with time

yeah you think
they'll leave you alone
the man and the phones
they're eager to speak

hey listen
there's a whimper and moan
still sticks to your bones
its been a rough week

you'd leave here if you could
the change would do you good
blowing off some steam
shooting up the neighborhood

sober, life just isn't as fun
as it is when your young
baby you're getting older

trouble,
its got you on the run
and now you're setting like the sun
I think that you're getting colder

leave here if you could
air would do you good
we all can hear you scream
shooting up the neighborhood
shoot shoot shoot
you deserve a break
shoot shoot shoot
a little roll in the hay
who cares what the neighbors say
anyway, anyway, anyway

I think its time for resistance
I think what you need is distance
San Diego or Spain

you know its only you you're decieving
I think its time to be leaving
and get out of the rain

leave here if you could
the change would do you good
everybody scream
shooting up the neighborhood
shoot shoot shoot
well lemons into lemonade
shoot shoot shoot
that's how history is made
shoot shoot shoot
this ain't the time to be afraid
yeah baby I knew you could
realize your dream
shooting up the neighborhood
shooting up the neighborhood
shooting up the neighborhood
