Where I can lay my head down
Prices will rise, the market's upscale
And all the cheap rents have left town
Call it a condo, but it's just a box
And it's built the cheapest way
You've got two choices, move somewhere else
Or mortgage your life away
Stacking up those little boxes
Vinyl siding to seal your thoughts in
Minimum standard, marketable boxes
Developer's profits are everyone's losses
Fake brick and chain link fence
Built with indifference
Triple locks and a three-foot pine
Not much humanity
With the money saved buying marginal land
Another zoning battle is won
Nearby landowners hate the projects
But the resentment's just begun
You'll learn the worst about your neighbors
And the state their lives are in
You'll live in unspoken conflict
The walls are paper-thin
Prove that you're someone, pay an inflated price
For the devalued American dream
Get a cheap carton to keep your life in
Home sweet home's not what it seems
Build me a home up on a hill Where I can lay my head down Prices will rise, the market's upscale And all the cheap rents have left town Call it a condo, but it's just a box And it's built the cheapest way You've got two choices, move somewhere else Or mortgage your life away Stacking up those little boxes Vinyl siding to seal your thoughts in Minimum standard, marketable boxes Developer's profits are everyone's losses Fake brick and chain link fence Built with indifference Triple locks and a three-foot pine Not much humanity With the money saved buying marginal land Another zoning battle is won Nearby landowners hate the projects But the resentment's just begun You'll learn the worst about your neighbors And the state their lives are in You'll live in unspoken conflict The walls are paper-thin Prove that you're someone, pay an inflated price For the devalued American dream Get a cheap carton to keep your life in Home sweet home's not what it seems Explain Request ×
