bugs (au) - neighbourhood lyrics
[verse 1]
perceived safety in your neighbourhood
did you ever really have it? was it ever that good?
’cause there’s a s-x offender living ’round the block
always standing at the window with his hand on his c-ck
and i’ll find it hard to see
how i’d raise my family in this place
[verse 2]
lad on the corner wearing bumbag and shorts
probably gets his information from the buzzfeed reports
he swore at centrelink when he was a teen
cooked his head from all the footy and amphetamine
and i’ll find it hard to see
how i’ll raise my family in this place
[pre-chorus]
i’m scared of noises in my heart, shut the gate to come near me
it’s a sick and sad world but i wanna see clearly
turn my sensor light on, i’m scared of the dark
[chorus]
our neighbourhood is full of sketchy places
creepy faces and crackheads (our neighbourhood)
street fights echo into the night
getting nervous deadbolt windows and bars
tall poppies, big fish in little ponds
i’m sick of buzzing the gutter (our neighbourhood)
we get by, pull down our blinds
it’s the only way we ever sleep good
close the door on your neighbourhood
[verse 3]
some common sense screamed across the fence
from the bloke who says your music volume makes him tense
you hear him yell at his missus almost every day
but he treats you like the animal anyway
social prejudice is f-cked
or is it just my sh-tty luck that i’m here?
[chorus]
our neighbourhood is full of sketchy places
creepy faces and crackheads (our neighbourhood)
street fights echo into the night
getting nervous, deadbolt windows and bars
tall poppies, big fish in little ponds
i’m sick of buzzing the gutter (our neighbourhood)
we get by, pull down our blinds
it’s the only way we ever sleep good
think of moving ’cause you know that you should
close the door on your neighbourhood
[outro]
well, perceived safety in your neighbourhood
perceived safety in your neighbourhood
perceived safety in your neighbourhood
perceived safety in your neighbourhood
