Song for My Neighbors Lyrics

The curbs on these streets won't comfort you

You who's being yelled at by your parents

One day you'll discover something more

Beyond your driveway

This place has been on many Top Ten lists

For murder and crime and miserable places

One day we'll discover something more

Beyond our driveways

And we'll find one day that we don't matter

We're getting too old for ourselves

Place our dreams in an overcrowded heaven

I don't want them to wait

I just want them to feel okay with me

One day I will amount to what I've dreamt

What's keeping me from it, I don't really know

I depend on the interest of those

Who have nothing

Necks break as heads lean towards the ground

We're not being punished we're just being put down

Is this how we perceive those who have nothing

And we'll find one day that we all matter

We're still not too old for ourselves

We can befriend our teenage minds

We can teach our kids right

We can give them the chance to leave

Teach me how to live and I'll be fine

Tell me everything will be all right

I don't want to know how to get ahead of others

I just want to know how to survive
