Sold Out

lyrics

Every house on the block got sold to the city; it’s sad, but some offers you just can’t refuse.
Mortar and brick once towering tall;
When a city is changing, you can’t have it all.

Now the building’s a bike shop where we went to high school.
The house where my mother lived is a restaurant.
The old public housing holds gallery art walks.
The tourists ask where the wine tasting is.

All the pneumatic drills and old bribes in the paper;
Machinery thrashing and throwing off steam.
Big business and councilmen laughing about it:
If you’ve got the permits, you can do what you please.

Now the bulldozers tumble out over the rocks
And the mold in the clapboard is making me sick.
Some worker in denim keeps calling me Linda.
I sign all his papers, but that’s not my name.

I pocket his money and then walk away.

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson

This album is like cracking a cold 40 of steel reserve after fighting in a parking lot at 3 in the morning. If you could bottle youth it would be hard to get a better brew than this. databender
