21st Century Trailer Park

from Haymaker Heart by Kelly Pardekooper

lyrics

Take this town and dump it in the river
All these condo are brown they ain’t got no heart
They’re waiting on the highway for the next tornado
21st century trailer parks

I been here since I was young
I’ll be god damned if I hold my tongue
Shady developers with big bankrolls
Are sucking out all the soul
Sucking out all the soul

Just clear out the old ones to bring in the new ones
And build them apartments right upstairs
They don’t have to see them all pukin’ on our downtown
When the money rolls in they don’t care

It’s been this way now oh so long
It’s hard to put your finger on what went wrong
You tend to get numb and you kind of get down
When they’re fuckin’ up your hometown
Fuckin’ up your hometown
