little platoons (my neighbourhood) - pursuit of happiness lyrics

my neighbours in the real world
are like the people in my dreams
the numb walk with the wicked
and i walk in between
they’re really hard to talk to
but they’ve always something to say
it’s either thick and incoherent
or undercut with rage
things out here can get a little crazy
people are aimless – not so smart – a bit lazy
things in my neighbourhood can get a little rough
but that’s where my room is, that’s where i keep my stuff
women around here don’t fare all too well
there’s usually a comment or a taunt from some loser who smells
the ones who get married or shack up don’t last too long
their men like to fight – sometimes with guns
things out here can get a little crazy
people are aimless – not so smart – a bit lazy
things in my neighbourhood can get a little rough
but that’s where my room is, that’s where i keep my stuff
some of the old ones have lived here for years
they keep their places nice in spite of everything
once they had a meal for the lonely and downtrodden
now they lock their doors tight – those days are forgotten
at night there’s a lot of yelling at each other and to themselves
i hope i never hear somebody’s final cry for help
there’s a lot of hate out there so i keep my head down
past the 7-11, down my dark street till i get home
things out here can get a little crazy
people are aimless – not so smart – a bit lazy
things in my neighbourhood can get a little rough
but that’s where my room is, that’s where i keep my stuff
