Boston Eats Its Young

Everything we used to know is wrong
Everywhere we used to go is gone
The neighborhoods all have new names and condos block the sky
But the dead end jobs are still the same and I'll tell you why:
Boston eats its young
The spots we used to live are full of lofts
The spots we used to drink are full of cops
But the first of every month still leaves me feeling I've been robbed
Holding down a barstool to hold down a job
Boston eats its young
We'd leave with the rest of them but we're too fucking dumb
Name a street, I'll tell you about a show
Name a bar, I'll tell you who got thrown
Name a house, I'll tell you about the friends who've gone ahead
While we stay here with their ghosts, cause we're too numb to know we're dead

Futur Pour Eux
03:06

Le ciel est béton grisaillé, la pluie est metallique
Dans cette banlieue-cadavre encerclée de vautours mécaniques
Au bout d’une ruelle barrée se voûte un autobus en panne
A la fin de l’histoire, toutes les routes nous ramènent à l’Oran
Les merveilleux nous guettent, apitoyés
D’au dessus d’un monde transformé en charnier
Nous, on sait très bien qu’on arrive en fin du jeu
Mais il y aura toujours un futur — pour eux
Dans leurs pied-à-terre, dans leurs gratte-ciel dénués
Dans leurs nécropoles immobilières ou ils osent pas mettre le pied
Ils ont pas honte, bien au contraire
C’est tout prévu, c’est nécessaire
Futur pour eux
Pour nous, rien que des adieux

We Almost Lost Detroit
03:10
|

Just thirty miles outside Detroit there stands a giant power station
Ticking while the city sleeps just seconds from annihilation
But no-one stopped to think about the sleepers
Or how they would survive
We almost lost Detroit this time
It stands out on the highway like a creature from another time
It inspires babies’ questions — “what’s that?” — for mothers as they ride
But no-one stopped to think about the babies
Or how they would survive
We almost lost Detroit this time
The sheriff of Monroe County had enough disasters on his mind
And what would Karen Silkwood say if she was still alive?
That when it comes to people’s lives and safety
Money wins out every single time
We almost lost Detroit this time
We’re gonna lose somewhere, sometime
They’re gonna chose somewhere, sometime
