Not in My Backyard (Copyright 2008 - Slightly Sedated)
They're talkin' casino, in my neighborhood
jobs and tax revenue, would be doggone good
but hold on there Guv'nor, slow down not so fast
the low-lifes and traffic, would not be a blast
Not in My Backyard, no, no, Not in My Backyard,
Its understood, it may be good, but I don't want it here in my backyard
--------------------------------
The road's are molassas, we need a bypass,
it's great for the region, the econ'my would kick ass,
but they've drawn up a plan, that passes my place,
you've got to be crazy, get it outta my face,
Not in My Backyard, No, no, Not in My Backyard,
Its understood, it may be good, but I don't want it here in my backyard
-----------------------------
might get you all to sign a little neighborhood petition,
Might hire a bunch of lawyers, and seek some "litigition",
We'll hold it up forever, we'll put ourselves on guard,
We'll make it very painful to get in our backyard.

We need nuclear power, too dependant on oil,
Greenpeace-niks objections, bring my blood to a boil,
as long as they build it, 45 miles away,
they won't have no problems, cause you know what I say
Not in My Backyard, No, no,Not in My Backyard,
Its understood, it may be good, but I don't want it here in my backyard
Its understood, it may be good, but I don't want it here in my backyard
Its understood, it may be good, but I don't want it here in my backyard
