Taking Back the Neighborhood Songtext
von Seized Up

Gentrification is strange
Almost invisible as it invades

Then she′s evicted and he's addicted
Once normal people out on the streets
Now she′s addicted
We're all evicted
Broken community
Out on the streets

Trust fund hippies living off their dads
Jesus beards and Mercedes vans
No consequences for anything they do
Entitled yuppie fucks got nothing to lose


Meanwhile
The whole West coast has gone to hell
No graveyard plot they wouldn't sell
No sacred stone goes left unturned
No God damned bridge they haven′t burned

Better put us locals in cages
Our outrage reached contagion bloodshed unfolds as it should

Taking back the neighborhood
Taking back the neighborhood
Taking back the neighborhood

Local culture disappears
That sacred past we all hold dear
There′s a silver tongued wolf
Breaking the news to you
That you have to leave that place that you've called home
For 20 fucking years
This
Means
War
