A, E, A, D, A, E, D 

               A                      E
They're so proud of this city's history
         A                       D
Like an old war hero reveling in his faded glory
        A          E            D
But the present day, that's another story
        A                               E
The old buildings they're so proud of are crumbling down
        A                       D
And the condos in the picturesque part of town
        A                    D
Are sinking, sinking into the bay

A
But that's the way I like it
G
Don't want a utopian society
B
Yeah, it's far from perfect
D
It's all fucked up and two-faced just like me 

A
        A               E
The quaint scenery can't hide the fact
          A                     D
That it's a cultureless wasteland
                   A            
But they're so proud of what they lack
               E                 D
They're so proud... of what?
        A               E
Proud of such a nice little suburbia
        A                       D
Still living in the shadow of the Zodiac Killer
             A           E               D              
Maybe it was the toxins in the water

A
Well you can't beat the cheap rent
G
Who needs water or electricity?
B
We're all far from perfect
D                                       A
And now we got our own hypocritical community

Yeah, raise a family
Hang out and watch T.V.
And go and feed the Grebes
