The paint peels 'cause the summers here are so severe

Philosophizing with their friends like they're Plato
    A                        E                B
They prophecize on the bench by the main road, right

They got advice; I'm like 'Ayo, if you say so guys'

But what do they know, Fox News got 'em lit

They're shockers, fundamentalists, the new communists
A                              E
A girl with a shopping list, clutch her handbag close
B                             Dbm
I'm like "damn man" then it's all backhands, jokes

'Cause I'm a gentlemen, but then again most of are
B                             Dbm
First name basis in the bank, the post-office, the bar
A                             E                       B

A day feels like a week, a weekend feels like it could go a year
A                       E
And we're nowhere near nothing, man it's so true
B                                   Dbm

                 Dbm                                    A

But that's just fine, it so happens I'm
B                          Dbm
Happy living in a city that is trapped in time
A                       E
While you're lined up in traffic I'm

For a TV dinner and an early night
  B                                Dbm
'Cause we get dressed to travel, got an early flight
A                               E
Been doing laps of the earth while doing laps of the sun
B                                 Dbm
Tryna put where I'm at on the map 'cause where I'm from
