From the recording Theater Kids
Lyrics
Jack and Jill
Went to capitol hill
To dance for all the people
But Jill was tore down
And Jack took the crown
As king of all the weasels
Now we dance and sing
The return of the king
And we’re on our knees
Lubed and ready to please
There goes
There goes
There goes
There goes the neighborhood
Keep them
Entertained
Distract them
From the pain
And lie straight
To their face
To keep them
In their place
Red blue
It’s the same
Make a choice or
play the game
Just keep them
Entertained
And distract them
From the pain
Someone has to be
The cog in this machine
Yeah
Someone has to die
To make this bitch take flight
And
All y’all gotta go
To keep this shit afloat
Just lie straight
To their face
To keep them
In their place
Yeah
Crush their dreams
Make em scream
Make em cry
Make em bleed
Whatever it takes
Burn em at stakes
Blame Jose or
Blame the gays
Just keep them mad
Or make them sad
Or steal all they’ve ever had
Or better yet
And this ones the best
Yeah tell em it makes their God super mad
They’ll clutch their pearls
And find a way
To target the folks that they want to hate
And blame them big for all of their ills
For fucked up schools
And grocery bills
Just toys and noise
For the girls and the boys
Obscure and blur
Remove the cure
Illusion of choice
Silence the voice
Crush their will
Swimming uphill
There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
It really
Is a shame
That we to have
Play this game
Dancing in the rain
Cuz the madness
It’s insane
They lie straight
To our face
And we take it
Not ok
Just a clown
In a box
Ready to pop…
(fuck)
There goes the neighborhood
