The Tossers Chicago Lyrics:
Well we had a mouse right in our house and were
afraid to move But I'd never trade that time we
spent huddled up in the front room No chill or
rats or poverty can quell my love for you Or for
this dump we're standing in 'cause this is my home
too

Chicago, Chicago, well there's assholes everywhere
Chicago, Chicago, where you're 15 pints from all
your cares Where your wallet's like a sieve And
that's where all of the gangsters live Chicago,
Chicago, is where we can afford to live

Well I sit out on my front porch step, watch the
gangsters selling crack And I call the cops when a
girl walks by and they give her a smack Oh I like
to get my beer and sit on my front step or by the
store Hanging out where white folks fear to tread,
yeah this is my home for sure

No gangsters can deface it 'cause it's still the
same to me Sometimes the bullets frighten me but I
speak up you see Oh I can navigate the subway sect
just like a weathered pro And anywhere I want to
you know that is where I go

Chicago, Chicago, assholes everywhere Chicago,
Chicago, we are 15 pints from all our cares Where
your wallet's like a sieve And that's where all of
the gangsters live Chicago, Chicago, is where we
can afford to live

I'm going out all by myself, no victims role for

me No I'm not transgressed by lovers or friends or
owed something you see Well the new condo's
they're coming fast and the rents have gone sky
high Just because we're seen as pioneers they
start to build for all the whites

They fuckin' gentrified my home, they fuckin'
gentrified my home Left affordable housing there
to roam, they fuckin' gentrified my home They
fuckin' gentrified my home, they fuckin'
gentrified my home Daley kicking ethnic vendors
off the street, ordinanced nothing cheap to eat

No more vendors in front of restaurants 'cause
Daley says they attract vermin to their haunts But
I don't think that's the targeted vermin that he
wants

See the copper with his badge and his gun He's not
hiding from anyone So you better collect your shit
and run

New shopping fronts are popping up all around
Driving our affordability out of town You'd think
they no longer want us around

Public housing coming down by federal mandate All
of whom they promised to relocate Rick Lazio's
bill passed congress but they just segregated 'em
back from where they came

Neighborhoods splits up by highways lined Dividing
different races by color lines Old mayor Daley put
'em there in the ever old grand ol' time

Real world hype drives the rent sky high Now MTV
age yuppies want to buy The city got the
exorbitant tax But in the real world in Chicago
someone was shot outside the apartment and they
died

So you better run, stand, fight
