Eight dollar ice cream scoop
A thousand dollar smile
High rising tiny flats
Condominiums for miles
That tiny hole in the wall is gone
Your peanut gallery bliss
Yuppified industry tips
Your urban garden trips
The culture is always heading
Twenty dollar pasta
A fifteen ounce pint
Fast crawling grocery chains
And a silencing of the night
Badge heavy bigot brigade
Club crawling for a warrant
Hip hop hunting white boy
Order taking badge toys
Gotta get them bad black boys
We have!
Undigested sores
We have!
Brand new upper class middle stores
We have!
Tweakers on the streets
We have!
Donuts up your teets
We have!
A homeless problem
Criminalizing hobo style
Old Town camping trials
Where the Voodoo's always stinking
And your momma's never blinkin'
We have!
Undigested sores
We have!
Brand new upper class middle stores
We have!
Tweakers on the streets
We have!
Donuts up your teets
We have!
A fucking homeless problem
Criminalizing hobo style
Old Town camping trials
Where the Voodoo's always stinking
And your momma's never blinkin'

Crisis!

Crisis!
Got you living outside
Because the rent is low
Crisis!
Got you holed up, can't hide
And your water's gold
Crisis!
Keeping all that you like
Swallowed up a toll
Crisis!
Never sleeping at night
To the watering hole!
And when your house is torn and the dirt's to burn
Investors heavy dealt and the lives on the shelf
Crisis!
Got you living to die
Because your wage is trash
Crisis!
Got you worn out inside
Filling up the hole
Crisis!
Losing all that you have
Because the renter has gone mad
Crisis!
Never dreaming all night
that your wallet's full
And when your house is torn and the dirt's to burn
Investors heavy dealt and the lives on the shelf
Consider that their wallets are fat and that they mean us all harm

not just piss drunk bums
not just mainline thugs
not just trimming kids
not just railroad gins
cost of living, our death!
no better accepting prayers
when blankets are elusive
it's best to keep with liars
when the odds are subjective
never asking for handouts yet
my need is repugnant
tossed by buy outs buying
sellouts that took domicile
locked out by banks selling
golden pickles dangling on credit
forced out of home and houses are empty
condos for the wealthy go
spending on spending
brought out for the streets
