lyrics

lately on Milwaukee
the meter maids are out
Chicago's little Brooklyn is swingin'

picture days upon us
there's horror in the silence
no more funny faces
even if you drink away an afternoon

somewhere in Logan Square
a coffee shop is suing
you better shave off half your hair
the Revolution's brewing
somewhere in Logan Square
the tax rates are rising
so keep your problems to yourself
I'm done sympathizing

but if you don't read about it on the Internet,
who will know?
and if skinny yuppie people walk their skinny yuppie pets,
who will know?
and if you never meet the neighbors living on your block,
who will know?
and if you're feeling safer when you see a cop,
who will know?

somewhere in Logan Square,
a coffee shop is suing
you better shave off half your hair
the Revolution's brewing
somewhere in Logan Square,
the summer's fast upon us
so put your hands up in the air
if you'll be my lucky yuppie girl
