Neighbourhood
Revolution in Suburbia: House On Fire's Neighborhood Anthem
Lyrics
This ain’t no super soaker simulator
This song isn't about playful activities like using a Super Soaker water gun.
This ain’t no Dr Evil imitator
It's not an imitation of the villain Dr. Evil from popular culture.
Things are about to get real
Things are going to become serious or authentic now.
Grab your foam noodle and your cardboard shield
Get ready with simple, makeshift defensive items.
It’s a curbside battlefield
The setting is like a battleground right at the edge of the street.
I’m taking back my neighbourhood
The singer is reclaiming their local area or community.
Like the repo man always said I should
Similar to a repossession, taking back control as advised.
I’m the concrete stomping Robin Hood
The singer is like a modern-day hero who fights for the people.
When it’s all said and done
Once everything is settled, there will be a sense of satisfaction.
I’ll be feeling good
After all the actions taken, there will be a positive feeling.
Soldier you’ve made your bed
A person who has to deal with the consequences of their actions.
You can’t buy your happiness
Money can't guarantee or buy happiness.
You pasty paperboy
A person who seems naive or inexperienced.
He don’t know it’s all a ploy
The person mentioned is unaware of a deceptive plan.
My soapbox cavalry
A metaphorical reference to a group speaking out for change.
Is gonna rescue me
This group will come to the singer's aid or rescue.
You must have misunderstood
There has been a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.
