about

This song is a band favorite that gripes about social inconveniences and injustices starting right here on our Philly sidewalks.

lyrics

You shouldn’t ride your bike on the sidewalk
There’s only so much space for my feet to walk
Too much outdoor seating on my block
This lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb

You shouldn’t drop your trash on the sidewalk
There’s too many kids outside with their sidewalk chalk
Spew it up your smokestacks early so no one can watch
Don’t educate the kids so they turn into a flash mob

You shouldn’t feed the hungry on the sidewalk
The Health department says it’s against the law
But you can get shot not doing anything at all
Said this lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb

You better stay in your lane here on my block / (when you’re on my block?)
Stare out your window like you’re the neighborhood watch
Hey lady, Nobody cares if you think I’m right or I’m wrong
But this lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb

Still I’m here wondering where’s my funking sidewalk?… like where did it go?

You Do You Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

You Do You is a funk rock party band from Philadelphia known for their infectious beats and electrifying 70’s-era showmanship. Since forming in 2012, You Do You has wowed local crowds at venues like Boot & Saddle, The Fillmore, World Cafe Live and more. Led by funky danceable grooves, and wailing melismas, the band has drawn comparisons to Parliament-Funkadelic, Janis Joplin, Phish, and Chic. ... more
