about

The unofficial anthem for all gentrifying Brooklynites, sweet music and sour lyrics.

lyrics

Oh my god
Look at my funny fridge magnets
They're so punk rock
They say "cunt," and "fuck," and "bitch," and "shit"

Get together now
Get inside my polaroid
If one more non-smoker offers me a cigarette
I think I'll shoot myself in the head

Oh my god, Patti Smith
The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets
Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed
And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976

This is a park
Filled to the brim with heroin
(Heroin)
This is a street
Where people are mugged every day
But the plus side is the Talking Heads are goin' on at 9
Ain't it so divine

Oh my god, Patti Smith
The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets
Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed
And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976

Oh father please don't smite me
Making me grow this tiny mustache
Oh mother please don't cry for me
Making me wear un-prescription glasses
But then I bought my first album on vinyl
I don't even own a record player

Oh my god
Look at you
You flannel-wearing piece of shit
You ain't got no soul to give, heart to bleed

Thanksgiving was the worst because my Nanna saw my tattoo

Oh my god, Patti Smith
The Velvet Underground and old jean jackets
Now throw on your Chuck Taylor's and act real pissed
And wish that you lived in un-gentrified New York, circa 1976

about

Mary Shelley Brooklyn, New York

Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Mary Shelley. Post- punk rhythms are imbued with elements of dance/disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and more, while influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles. Always, the electric 4-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like the last. ... more
