El Cerrito |
| Walking down the street in San Francisco just the other day |
| Wondering what has happened to the freaks and hippies and the punks |
| Everybody’s squeaky clean |
| They look and dress and act the same |
| I don’t give a shit about your IPO I live in El Cerrito |
| Mama took the Alameda transit bus to work each day |
| All the way down San Pablo |
| Thirty years a naval base |
| Never heard her once complain about taking public transportation |
| You should ride the city bus just like the rest of us in El Cerrito |
| Do do do do do do do do do do |
| Do do do do do do do do do |
| El Cerrito |
| Pink mustached taxi cabs |
| Don’t you know that they’re just scabs |
| Union busting techy uber alles (I said it) |
| Bullshit claims to change the world |
| Making Wall Street bankers even richer (richer, richer, richer) |
| El Cerrito’s got its problems but we don’t pick the pockets of the working man |
| Papa was an engineer |
| Worked at Hewlett-Packard |
| Dumbarton Bridge two times a day |
| Then lost his job and pension |
| We would go and visit him in bars in Jack London Square |
| I don’t give a shit about your IPO I come from El Cerrito |
| If there is a lesson from this story to be learned |
| It’s not exactly what you think |
| You shouldn’t be concerned |
| It’s not that we don’t like the rich |
| It’s simply that we think this kind is boring |
| Everybody acts and thinks the same |
| That’s why I live in El Cerrito |
| Oooh |
