Testo di Benicia By the Bay

They're so proud of this city's history Like an old war hero reveling in his faded glory But the present day, that's another story The old buildings they're so proud of are crumbling down And the condos in the picturesque part of town Are sinking, sinking into the bay But that's the way I like it Don't want a utopian society Yeah, it's far from perfect It's all fucked up and two-faced just like me The quaint scenery can't hide the fact That it's a cultureless wasteland But they're so proud of what they lack They're so proud... of what? Proud of such a nice little suburbia Still living in the shadow of the Zodiac Killer Maybe it was the toxins in the water Well you can't beat the cheap rent Who needs water or electricity? We're all far from perfect And now we got our own hypocritical community Yeah, raise a family Hang out and watch T.V. And go and feed the Grebes Unt. Unt. Unt.
