There Goes The Neighborhood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 chip in the paint? Who cares if the beams ain't straight? Y'all Better watch your back for a wreckin' ball [Chorus] 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 Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood Hey, there goes the neighborhood [Verse 2] Mm, so much for posterity They're haulin' off history Like it don't mеan nothin' Mm, for a dime a dozen Built from scratch in '35 But cash is king when grandpa diеd So you sell the farm Stick a sign out in the yard [Chorus] 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 Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood Hey, there goes the neighborhood [Bridge] Well, it's a crime and it's a shame What we trade in the name Of progress, I guess We never know when we've got it good [Chorus] 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 Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood Hey, there goes the neighborhood [Outro] There goes the neighborhood Shady acres won't be the same Mm, you tear shit down
