#intheberkshires

Everything is beautiful in the berkshires
On the trees the leaves change in october
When you walk down the street you can greet your neighbor
Never mind he's voting for a fascist in november, ooh

Everything is fine, as long as we play nice
And don't upset the tourists
Never you mind about the nukes they make
Down on plastics avenue

Oh but you're not really from here
How dare you talk about shit you don't know
You're not a hometown girl
How dare you call yourself a girl?
Why don't you go back where you came from
Wait no, don't go back there
You see what they really meant was
They don't want us anywhere

Pass by folks with signs on every major road
Up on prospect hill, there's an empty $12 million dollar home
A savior never walked in cashing checks
Buying up the town
To save you from yourselves, so

Everything is cool if you don't name names —
That might piss off the rich folks
They don't mind if you get blackout drunk
As long as you show up
To work for the main street shire mill cooperative
Berkshire village festiv'lewood of contemporary fuckery

Oh but you're not really from here
How dare you talk about shit you don't know
You're not a hometown girl
How dare you call yourself a girl?
Why don't you go back where you came from
Wait no, don't go back there
You see what they really meant was
They don't want us anywhere

From Boston to Stockbridge
Down in the den they scream for the
Same damn song every night
Repeat the same bland entertainments
To keep us tame so they sleep all night
Protest in Park Square
"Every Thursday!"
Keep it quiet, keep it polite
Just watch whose side the cops are on
When it comes down to your life

Oh but you're not really from here
How dare you talk about shit you don't know
You're not a hometown girl
How dare you call yourself a girl?
Why don't you go back where you came from
Wait no, don't go back there
You see what they really meant was
They don't want us anywhere
No, they don't want us anywhere
No, they don't want us anywhere at all

Everything is beautiful in the berkshires
On the trees the leaves change in october
When you walk down the street you can greet your neighbor
