I work on Belmont, but I live in Wicker Park
All my friends are bartenders in all the coolest bars
My girlfriend's in the coolest band that you've ever seen
They play the empty bottle every week.
I've got everything i need.
My loft, my motorcycle, my hip restaurant down the street
And my neighbors are all artists or hot girls over 18
Who needs community when you live right in your scene?
From jinx to Betty's Blue Star, everybody knows my name
From north avenue down to Augusta
Everybody's all the same
It's a playground fueled by beer
No Chicagoans live here.
It's geography bound tightly by big city dreams.
When the property value's raised you'll be on your merry ways
Like the poor outclassed families before you
You've already paved
Ashland to Western Chicago to North Avenue
Congratulations kids, your shallow model city is sinking.
You've become what you swore that you'd never be.
