Neighbourhood

Perceived safety in your neighbourhood

Did you ever really have it? Was it ever that good?

'Cause there's a sex offender living 'round the block

Always standing at the window with his hand on his cock

And I'll find it hard to see

How I'd raise my family in this place

Lad on the corner wearing bumbag and shorts

Probably gets his information from the Buzzfeed reports

He swore at Centrelink when he was a teen

Cooked his head from all the footy and amphetamine

And I'll find it hard to see

How I'll raise my family in this place

I'm scared of noises in my yard, shut the gate don't come near me

It's a sick and sad world but I wanna see clearly

Turn my sensor light on, I'm scared of the dark

Our neighbourhood is full of sketchy places

Creepy faces and crackheads (Our neighbourhood)

Street fights echo into the night

Getting nervous deadbolt windows and bars

Tall poppies, big fish in little ponds

I'm sick of glass in the gutter (Our neighbourhood)

We get by, pull down our blinds

It's the only way we ever sleep good

Close the door on your neighbourhood

Some common sense screamed across the fence

From the bloke who says your music volume makes him tense

You hear him yell at his missus almost every day

But he treats you like the animal anyway

Social prejudice is fucked

Or is it just my shitty luck that I'm here?

Our neighbourhood is full of sketchy places

Creepy faces and crackheads (Our neighbourhood)

Street fights echo into the night

Getting nervous, deadbolt windows and bars

Tall poppies, big fish in little ponds

I'm sick of glass in the gutter (Our neighbourhood)

We get by, pull down our blinds

It's the only way we ever sleep good

Think of moving 'cause you know that you should

Close the door on your neighbourhood

Well, perceived safety in your neighbourhood
