Gated Communities

Just what this town needs
Another mini mall
New deeds and associations
Can only mow my grass in one direction

White collar shirt that has a lipstick stain
The secretary's ashamed
This time I'm ready for a fight
But nobody wants to oblige
In gated communities

Gated communities
Gated communities
Gated communities
Gated communities
Gated communities
Gated communities
Gated communities

I've got me a car I can only go
So many miles
I used to be fine, but I only know
I'm getting tired

I don't know who these people think they are
And I'll probably never be able to live in a gated community driving around in a fancy car
And it's really not that far
From where people in need are
Yeah, they live in such decadence high on the hog while us folks on the street starve
They don't see us cuz we're down low
Down where the rodents and weeds grow
We are more powerful than they could ever imagine, they don't know that we know
But we do and we'll steamroll, all the elitist with dream homes
Who built what they have on the backs of the folks who won't let the American dream go
They want to command and control us, to rob us and leave us with no funds
They think that they know what's best for us, they don't know what's good for no one
And their world view's so dumb,
Want to take away your fun
And they never allow us,
To get positive out comes
They don't see us cuz we're down low
Down where the rodents and weeds grow
We are more powerful than they could ever imagine, they don't know that we know
They don't see us cuz we're down low
Down where the rodents and weeds grow
We are more powerful, We are more powerful, We are more powerful

I've got me a car I can only go
So many miles
I used to be fine, but I only know
I'm getting tired

They've got you where they want you
At the brand new mini mall
