Don’t let your technology get in the way of deep community You need to look me in the eyes if you want to hear me speaking So put down your portable hand held devices and give me just 5 minutes free of your vices It’s easy to be absent, but you got to show up to be present Our communities are failing, because we ain’t finishing what we started Starter Homes Starter Cars Starter Wives, It makes me sick Don’t try appealing to the powers that be, they’re too busy commuting past your city In a world where 6 bit files replace 24 bit DAT, their upward mobility is at odds with my hi fidelity When moving in becomes passing through, staying put looks like going backwards And fears of obsolescence cause a ringing in my ear Screaming “Upgrade, Upgrade, Why Don’t You Upgrade?” “Upgrade, Upgrade, Why Don’t You Upgrade?” Because new is not better, and better is not best And entertainment is not a virtue to be blessed... Don’t try appealing to the powers that be, they’re too busy commuting past your city Don’t try appealing to the powers that be, they’re too busy commuting past your city Power, Real Power, is staying power... I got a little house, on a little street with a very little yard and it’s no starter, it’s a finisher Cause the only way I’m leaving is in a pine box And the only upgrade I’m making is to be buried in the yard So that when my flesh turns to dirt and my heart is exposed My bones open up and my marrow erodes It will nourish the roots of the trees Nourish the roots of the trees... In my neighbourhood

Step out, Step In Let go of your preconceptions Rough skin can house a softer soul Just like concrete can make a home Don’t be blind to me (Don’t be blind to me) Don’t be blind to me (Don’t be blind to me) I live in Industrial C Just Lucy Day and the kids and me Living in Industrial C Where the houses kiss the factories We’ll take what you discard We’ll move to from where you flee It fits us so naturally The good, the bad and then there’s me Don’t be blind to me (Don’t be blind to me) Don’t be blind to me (Don’t be blind to me) I live in Industrial C Just Lucy Day and the kids and me Living in Industrial C Where the houses kiss the factories Yes there’s pain and yes there’s grief And Smoke does settle on winter trees But spring she comes, and unfurls her leaves Shaking off the dust of a passing industry She does not forget (she does not forget) She does not forget (she does not forget) She does not forget (she does not forget) She does not forget (don’t forget me) I live in Industrial C Just Lucy Day and the kids and me Living in Industrial C Where the houses kiss the factories

It was like I wasn’t honest. It was like I wasn’t honest It was like I wasn’t honest with you Young love blindly assumes, That all will remain the same I was no different, I sold you that lie Then I had the nerve to change It was like I wasn’t honest. It was like I wasn’t honest It was like I wasn’t honest with you We’re all confronted with choices in life We never expected to face You can choose to leave or you can choose to believe That our love was always meant to grow It was like I wasn’t honest. It was like I wasn’t honest It was like I wasn’t honest with you
