lyrics

My kid was born here
Back in two thousand and four
It was a different neighborhood then
With some middle class and some poor
She had her own crummy little playground
'Cause we didn't have a yard
It wasn't too attractive, no, no, no
No picture postcard

We did not know it then
We were the last of the last
All the brownstones got knocked down
And the landscape changed so fast
The last family in the Fenway
Yeah that's who we were
We got swept aside
To make room for a developer

We used to know all our neighbors
There was the King of Records and crazy man Mike
And over on Clemente Field
My kid she learned how to ride her bike
One by one they all disappeared
And so did our watering hole
It was replaced by a juice bar
And the streets they lost their soul

Suddenly everyone was from China
Drinking Starbucks at eleven a.m.
They had money and time to burn
They did not see you but you saw them
They drove the rents up out of sight
And undermined our foundation
They did it without a thought
These strangers on permanent vacation
