lyrics

They're tearing down my neighborhood
Brick by brick, every piece of wood
The tree that's budded there since 1957
He's on his way to heaven now

I don't wanna live in a plastic case
Don't you fence me in with a wraparound gate
Let them see my cluttered yard
Filled with noise and toys from little girls
And boys

They're tearing down my neighborhood
Trying to move me out to the suburbs this time for good
Watching em break down our heritage
Replaced with square footage now

I don't wanna live in a plastic case
Don't you fence me in with a wraparound gate
Let them see my cluttered yard
Filled with noise and toys from little girls
And boys

If you bury me in a ground that has no old trees
Then I'll rise right up and make my way back to this street
Find me floating here in my old front yard
Baskin in memories of babies laughin'
Foundations crackin'
And little bare toes runnin' fast as only God knows
on old sidewalks

I don't wanna live in a plastic case
Don't you fence me in with a wraparound gate
Let them see my cluttered yard
Filled with noise and toys from little girls
And boys
