The You & Me's - Pirates & Thieves

I want to live where I can afford
But the fees keep on rising
I used to play a major role
In the choice of my housing
But pirates and thieves took our homes
And they tore 'em down
On the curb, with nothing but souvenirs
The condo towers have won

Where to now?
Is there anywhere left for me?

I had a yard, I had a porch
So did my neighbors
We used to sit, we used to talk
Ponder about things that don't matter
Then promoters came and the market changed
Coffee was 10$ a cup
Then the landlords expelled in mass to renovate
Then they hiked the rent up
My neighbors and I had to realize
It's the same thing all around
It's happened before, we can't stay anymore
Goodbye to this side of town

Where to now?
Is there anywhere left for me?

Hello, new neighbor
Won't you tell me your name
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We don't have things but
We can share our pain
Oh-oh, oh-oh
