lyrics

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
