	Story Behind the Song A description of a neighborhood in Baltimore. The song came after The Stalker, written in anger at being robbed...I was angry I spent years in Remington. The music was put down first in a power chord/Ramones style. The original take served as the base...we worked on it for about a month in 1998. Lyrics REMINGTON I lived inside of Remington a neighborhood named like a gun disfunction within every house in every room the neighbors shout little kids are up all night watching screaming drunken fights boyfriends beat on girls who cuss in every sentence toilets flush mommy is teenager and daddy drinks a weekender shirtless man throws bricks at cops from the rooftops of my block needles in the gutter trash burned out car just sits in ash kids huff glue on playground swings litter covers everything live ammunition in the road mispelled graffitti morons wrote dirtballs selling stolen goods to buy more drugs from corner hoods breaking in a house to get just a pack of cigarettes juvenilles who egg a door eventually get two to four spend a few months in and then back to good old Remington women whoring days and night to men who stop at traffic lights the wailing sirens of a cop come every day, it never stops peel out tires, barking dogs the people look like walking hogs junk food is a mainstay crop they eat it til their stomachs pop rifle holding man at the door pistol shoved into his drawers skinny deadbeats heat their spoons lunatics howl at the moon alley rats are in the cellar have to kill the little fellers inside the house insest is worse racists rival Bensonhurst living in a place too long get too used to whats gone wrong slow decay behind the bricks nothing that a bomb wont fix This is Remington cheaper rent dont cut it son cheaper rent dont cut it son (repeat) This is America a city that breeds instead of reads a city that breeds instead of reads
