Lyrics

[00:14.00] They're making feminist fanzines in Bushwick right now
[00:17.26] There's still a lot to say
[00:21.01] And performance art in the alleyways of Chinatown
[00:24.24] What's a downtown artist anyway?
[00:27.57] They're making art that blurs the line between can would should and can't
[00:31.62] The dancers from the dance follow the bass
[00:34.55] And starting bands with broken amps and rusted old mic stands
[00:37.71] All the kids know this must be the place
[00:41.21]
[00:41.48] They love it here and they're not gonna go
[00:46.45] It's so expensive now that they always get hardcore
[00:51.79]
[00:57.64] They're shutting down Fifth Avenue screaming "No more war!"
[01:01.84] There's still a lot to say
[01:04.38] Instead of sitting 'round talking 'bout how it used to be before
[01:08.61] Nostalgia's so passé
[01:11.94] Clapping their hands so ****ing fast and cutting each other's hair
[01:15.50] Let your hands and feet follow the bass
[01:19.45] They're making art that's less crystal ****ing clear and more full on dare
[01:22.25] All the kids know this must be the place
[01:25.00]
[01:25.45] They love it here and they're not gonna go
[01:31.53] It's so expensive now that they have to get hardcore
[01:36.07]
[01:45.02] From the train to the deli to the coffee shop
[01:47.57] Past the beauty salon and the parking lot
[01:50.87] Up the stairs by the bus near the hardware store
[01:54.18] On the bench in the sun with their headphones on
[01:58.16]
[01:58.51] They love it here and they're not gonna go
[02:04.51] It's so expensive now that they have to get hardcore
[02:12.11] They love it here and they're not gonna go
[02:18.37] It's so expensive now that they have to go hardcore
