Текст песни There Goes The Neighborhood - Sugarland

One by one, and two by two
They're pullin' up every single root
In this town
To tear shit down
Oh, but what's wrong with a little chippin' paint?
Who cares if the beams ain't straight?
Y'all
Better watch your back for a wreckin' ball

Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady Acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood

Mm
So much for posterity
They're haulin' off history
Like it don't mean nothin'
Mm, for a dime a dozen
Built from scratch in '35
But cash is king when Grandpa dies
So you sell the farm
Stick a sign out in the yard

Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady Acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood

Mm, well, it's a crime and it's a shame
What we trade in the name
Of progress
I guess
We never know when we've got it good

Gone forever in a day
Subdivide, give it a name
Shady Acres ain't got no trees
No one cares long as it's cheap
Pave the past for a little bit of money
But you can't get back what you knock down, honey
Bunch of dump trucks full of bricks and wood
Hey, there goes the neighborhood

There goes the neighborhood
Shady Acres won't be the same (mm)
You tear shit down
Hahahahaha
