I want a vintage
bathtub with a circular curtain rod
Make it porcelain with brass claw feet
I want a shower that gushes
a toilet that flushes
And I think I need a sink that doesn't leak
I want central air and central heat
In a good neighborhood
on a good lil street
don't want no crack in my foundation
or my neighbors doin crack
Make it everything I have
and everything I lack
When this whole world is in my face
I want to shut the door and
hide in my own place
I want instant credit give it to me honey
How am I gunna get it if you
don't loan me the money
How am I gunna get it my american dream
If you give me the ice and
you keep the cream
Your concrete world has
gotta cut me some slack
I gotta climb out from
between the cracks
With your interest rates this high high high
How am I ever gunna own what I buy
I want kitchen tile and hardwood floors
A brand new roof and a wrap around porch
I want a wooden deck
underneath some trees
On a hill with a view I want
to do what I please
Your concrete world has
gotta rise from the dead
I gotta wake up in my own
place in my own bed
With all the doors unlocked
with all the windows open
With not a not a care not a not a care
Not a not a care inside of my head
Oh here I am you have to
have been here to understand
You have to have been here
and done this to see
That I need a payday I need
a windfall I need to get the key to
My own place my own place
I want to shut the door and hide
In my own
place
