This song is about the abundance of abandoned retail centers in the Valencia, CA area brought on by the floundering United States economy- our new "American Ruins".
Lyrics
“Tour the American Ruins” A resoundingly shocking scene: wandering ‘round old stomping grounds. Leftover trimmings of a place I knew well once upon a time. Civil man’s centerpiece now in financial catastrophe; A pile of defiled rubble with no restoration in sight. Tour the American ruins. View the relics and the remnants of an era come and gone. When you tour the American ruins, my friend, You’ll find abandoned brick and mortar on every fucking corner. An astonishingly scary scene: ride through the old housing tract. Kids all grown up- down on their luck for the foreseeable future. A once-upscale area is affluent no more. Gushing fiscal wounds won’t clot ‘till we devise a suture. Tour the American ruins. View the relics and the remnants of an era come and gone. When you tour the American ruins, my friend, You’ll find abandoned brick and mortar on every fucking corner. -Kelan John Farrell Smith
