about

Many years ago we decided it would be fun to form a band where we base all our songs on some of the most dramatic, hilarious, and ridiculous posts that people put up on Nextdoor.com, the neighborhood social media site.

We never did it, but we did name our band The Nextdoors nonetheless.

So last-minute we decided to end our record with a song that adheres to our original concept - based on a Nextdoor.com post about a reliable mechanic having changed his ways, leaving the poster to have to endure the slings and arrows of finding a new repairman.

It's a little different from the rest of the record. Ok maybe a lot different. Enjoy!

lyrics

Honest Mechanic Gone Bad – by Russell Wiener

An honest mechanic gone bad
My honest mechanic gone bad
He used to be so fair
But he’s moved into a fancy place
The pressure’s on to make a sale

Now I face the dragons again
Now I face the dragons again
Now I face the dragons again
Now

Another honest mechanic gone bad
Finding a new mechanic will drive me mad
You used to have my back, but come on man
You’re stealing from my family
You’re talking ‘bout things that they don’t need
You’re lying to my family
You’re lying and I’m crying stop

And they say go somewhere else I got a guy
But on principle I lie

Now I face the dragons again
Now I face the dragons again
Now I face the dragons again

I face the dragons
I face the dragons again
