Song of the Renter
Dawn breaks as underneath our feet
The cracklin' ground
Of Autumn leaves tells us
Another winter's comin' round
And as the last traces of light
Disappear beneath the clouds
You can hear the city's heartbeat
As it quickens with the bounce
And in the streets
To the North
The hipsters
Are trawling alleyways
Trying to find the next hip spot
Before it becomes passe
And in the laneways
To the South
The once cool
Drown their sorrows away
As they ponder
Into their craft brew
When their life
Became so safe?
So safe?
So they sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
They sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
Driving west at night
The cranes look like
Aliens in formation
All biding their time
In single file
Before they start
Their invasion
And with blueprints
And permits in hand
In the name of gentrification
Under their reign
We'll never own a piece of land
Once they complete
Their transformation
And in the streets
To the North
The hipsters
Are trawling alleyways
Trying to find the next hip spot
Before it becomes passe
And in the laneways
To the South
The once cool
Drown their sorrows away
As they ponder
Into their craft brew
When their life
Became so safe?
So safe?
So they sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
They sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
They sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
They sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
As a child in the South East
I'd stop and stare
At the lights
In the distance
They looked like a galaxy
And felt as far away
And in the streets
To the North
Hipsters, trawling alleyways
Trying to find the next hip spot
Before it becomes passe
And in the laneways
To the South
The once cool
Drown their sorrows away
As they ponder
Into their craft brews
When their life
Became so safe?
So safe?
And so we sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing the song,
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing
The cracklin' ground
Of Autumn leaves tells us
Another winter's comin' round
And as the last traces of light
Disappear beneath the clouds
You can hear the city's heartbeat
As it quickens with the bounce
And in the streets
To the North
The hipsters
Are trawling alleyways
Trying to find the next hip spot
Before it becomes passe
And in the laneways
To the South
The once cool
Drown their sorrows away
As they ponder
Into their craft brew
When their life
Became so safe?
So safe?
So they sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'

The 'Song of the Renter'

The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing, the song
The 'Song of the Renter'
We sing
