             A                  E
They're so proud of this city's history
       A                   D
Like an old war hero reveling in his faded glory
      A         E            D
But the present day, that's another story
      A                        E
The old buildings they're so proud of are crumbling down
      A                  D
And the condos in the picturesque part of town
      A                 D
Are sinking, sinking into the bay


A
But that's the way I like it
G
Don't want a utopian society
B
Yeah, it's far from perfect
D
It's all fucked up and two-faced just like me 


A

      A            E
The quaint scenery can't hide the fact
          A                  D
That it's a cultureless wasteland
                   A            
But they're so proud of what they lack
             E               D
They're so proud... of what?
      A            E
Proud of such a nice little suburbia
      A                  D
Still living in the shadow of the Zodiac Killer
             A               E               D            
Maybe it was the toxins in the water


A
Well you can't beat the cheap rent
G
Who needs water or electricity?
B
We're all far from perfect
D                              A
And now we got our own hypocritical community

Yeah, raise a family
Hang out and watch T.V.
And go and feed the Grebes
