Benicia By The Bay Lyrics - Pinhead Gunpowder

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
