Lyrics The Vandals – N.I.M.B.Y.
Text:
The city council met last night; the vote was one to six
Denying access to our town by TV’s G.E. Smith
The Mayor cited nightmares had by his daughter Eileen
She dreamed that ugly fucker’s face popped out the friggin’ screen
They said no, they said no way
Not in my backyard, he cannot stay
That eyesore is a stain upon our nation
If you think he’s livin’ by me there’s no way
G.E. felt the setback but refused to surrender
He bought the house disguised as the guitarist from The Pretenders
But at the party that we like to throw for new homeowners
We caught him when he couldn’t play the lead from «Tattooed Love Boys»
They said no, they said no way
Not in my backyard, he cannot stay
That eyesore is a stain upon our nation
If you think he’s livin’ by me there’s no way
A man has got the right to homestead anywhere he can
But that just begs the question «what exactly is a man?»
A blond Frankenstein with Dutch Boy hair would hardly qualify
So we must live free of this Hall & Oates reject or die
They said no, they said no way
Not in my backyard, he cannot stay
That eyesore is a stain upon our nation
If you think he’s livin’ by me there’s no way
