Neighborhood

Kevin Devine

[Verse]
There is a place where the neighbors go to talk at night
They try and talk all that evil off their minds
The common thread is a fashionable antagonist
A steady threat with an unusual mind
They drink from three different cups so they can sleep at night
It's all a part of some illustrious plan
They're gonna break into his house while he's sleeping
They're gonna steal each single memory he's had
It's not about what this antagonist did to them
It's more about the man they can't let him be
They're gonna tie him to the back of my neighbor's car
They're gonna drag him naked out in the street
They're gonna tell him that he chose to be different
And that's a lofty irredeemable fee
They're gonna pull out all his teeth so he can't smile
They're gonna cut him up as neighborhood meat
That man has never once harmed me in any way
That man has always been thoughtful to me
But I just can't disagree with the neighborhood
I'm afraid they'll start talking 'bout me
When the morning came 'round there was sunshine
And we all smiled like there was nothing to see
Cause you can't throw away all the fruit you've got
Over one man's untraditional seed

[Outro]
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
