[TS] Come one, come all where the views astound From the mountains, rivers, lakes And the Puget Sound It's a sight to see Where I've thrived rightfully No wonder others feel the same And newcomers are inbound Unsurprisingly emerald states of mind Flock to the Northwest In a hunt for apartments Our housing market's stock full Becoming a run of the bulls Thanks to the biggest liars in town Competition stiffens, we can't even Pick which neighborhood to live in Due to labor wage restrictions Winners are comprised Of companies who subsidize Rent for those with salaries To inflated to begin with Thanks elitists For these rent increases Goodbye teachers And industry folks who feed us As they push us to the outer reaches They cannot win Let 'em hide behind their picket fence [S] They produce nothing, gatekeep Middle-class existence surrounded by surplus Peddling scarceness Drug users in homes never get caught Homeless addicts round it up for heroin While landlords sniff coke You ain't rich, you're as broke as me Just to hope to leverage your position in this Ponzi scheme No skill involved You just make poor people pay your mortgage And the profits go straight up your nose It's a risky business That's why the riskers born are renters And when the equity increases, you keep the winnings No wonder why they say home ownership is the road to riches But a house is not a financial instrument It's what you break your bread and read to kids And try not to die when every day the world ends Landlord's a parasite with an empty balance chest No one owns the land that's predicated on theft [TS] Price locked in For a temporary coffin to crawl in While a cemetery plot thickens Not a single place affordable to live in Within city limits Even if minimum wage is risen It's not this city's fault For the money pit we're digging in But in my opinion it is its fault for pitching in To damn flaws written in landlord-tenant laws Affecting citizens and all, isn't it? The law states within notice of 60 days Rents may be raised at ridiculous rates Who tipping the cash cow now? It's utterly unforgiving how we're grazed upon Victims of fate Roads used to be paved In this land with milk and honey Now it's just bees buzzing Around the most cranes in the country Our emerald's tarnished From a cause that'd make The Wizard of OZ turn over in his grave
