Your Neighborhood

You look out your window
Out at your neighborhood
You don't know if it might
You don't know it if could
It'd be such a shame if this whole place
Burnt to a crisp

Turn back into a child
When you smell the fresh-cut lawn
Feels like you're all the way back
Where you first come from
Run around til you're tired
Just like it's what you used to do

But oh, how the people have changed
Oh, how they stayed just the same
The air that I breathed since I was a kid
Has gotten me high on a small-town wish

There's plenty of dangers in the theaters and the books
So burn all the witches
Lock up all the crooks
You wonder where it hell it could have all went wrong

Still wake up in the morning wincing at the clock
Neighbor still walks the same damn dog
Round and round the block
I swear to God the water's fine
It's just a touch of lead

But oh, you know we're doing just fine
You know it's been this way all the time
A place of transgressions, erased from the maps
Never again am I ever going back

Oh, ain't it a shame
Oh, ain't that a shame
Ain't it shame
Oh babe, ain't it a shame
