Lyrics
My neighbours next door,
there’s Brad who’s got a gun
and his sister, Michelle,
a racist who puts down the blacks
while fucking them
in the alleyway,
Buddy’s not quite right
he’s a little slow,
the father’s a drunk
and the mother’s a whore
who offers it to me
for a few bucks.
I hear them throwing
pots and pans
onto the kitchen floor
blaming each other
for the way they are,
Dad belches
and chews out his woman
while the kids
laugh behind their frowns
and surly dispositions,
Brad and Buddy
kick the shit out of the bums
who have passed out in the alleyway
and they drink what’s left
inside the despondent bottles.
They bang on my door
and run down the hall
screaming, “Hey, Mr. Fuck-Up,
got any poems for us?”
I leave and grab a bottle
from the liquor store,
and I raise my glass
towards my neighbours,
as shots are fired
and screams echo down this hallway
of apathy and filth.
