Benchmarks Let You Down
I took a walk into the city
I took a walk to see the places that we dwell
Between the cracks in the sidewalks
Our houses kind of look more like hotels
'cause all our front yards have fences
And all our windows have secure fit iron bars
We like to say "Love thy neighbor"
But we really don't want to try that hard
I'm tired of the houses that we're building
Tearing all the neighbors to the ground
I don't want to deconstruct our city
I don't want to let nobody down
I want to help you find your lost dog
I want to go and see my friends band play downtown
I don't want to live here just indifferent
I want to be better than I am now
So I will make a life in my houses
And you will go ahead and make a life in yours
And if we're good to each other
Maybe we can at least unlock our doors
I'm tired of the houses that we're building
Tearing all the neighbors to the ground
I don't want to deconstruct our city
I don't want to let nobody down
Let's take a walk into the city
Let's take a walk into the city
Let's take a walk
Show me the way into the city
I'm tired of the houses that we're building
Tearing all the neighbors to the ground
I don't want to deconstruct our city
I don't want to let nobody down
I'm tired of the houses that we're building
Tearing all the neighbors to the ground
I don't want to deconstruct our city
I don't want to let nobody down
Yeah, I don't want to let nobody down
I don't want to let you down
