There Goes The Neighborhood
One by one, and two by two
They're pullin' up every single root in this town
To tear shit down
Oh, but what's wrong with a little chippin' paint?
Who cares if the beams ain't straight?
Y'all better watch your back for a wreckin' ball
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
So much for posterity
They're haulin' off history
Like it don't mean nothin'
For a dime a dozen
Built from scratch in '35
But cash is king when grandpa died
So you sell the farm
Stick a sign out in the yard
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
Well, it's a crime, and it's a shame
What we trade in the name of progress
I guess, we'll never know when we've got it good
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
Shady acres won't be the same
Mmm, you tear shit down
Hahaha
They're pullin' up every single root in this town
To tear shit down
Oh, but what's wrong with a little chippin' paint?
Who cares if the beams ain't straight?
Y'all better watch your back for a wreckin' ball
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
So much for posterity
They're haulin' off history
Like it don't mean nothin'
For a dime a dozen
Built from scratch in '35
But cash is king when grandpa died
So you sell the farm
Stick a sign out in the yard
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
Well, it's a crime, and it's a shame
What we trade in the name of progress
I guess, we'll never know when we've got it good
Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Buncha dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
Shady acres won't be the same
Mmm, you tear shit down
Hahaha
