Recent interview with a Chronic Sick singer Greg Macolino: "The fact that someone would read the lyrics to something like “There Goes the Neighborhood” and say “They’re racist!” is just retarded. It was total satire and if you didn’t get that, then I don’t know what to tell you." http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2011/01/14/rettsounds-chronic-sick/

This is obviously satire. The band seems to me to have been trying to raise an issue as to the blame of domestic crimes on African Americans in predominantly white communities. Because they are doing it in a very anti-PC fashion (much like many bands of that era: think the F.U.'s, Vile, etc.) people seem to bug out over it which is exactly what the band wanted. It's just shock value, I highly doubt it was supposed to be demeaning. Although I am not condoning the usage of language, I would say check yourself before pigeon-holing them as bigots without reading the lyrics. Think about the usage of swastikas and reagan politics in that era for shock value (Reagan Youth). These things were just trends, not an intelligent trend, but what trends are?

Why did they come here, it’s peaceful at night Probably no crime cause everybody’s white What’s that van doing parked around black, the next thing I can think is oh my god they’re black. There goes the neighbourhood wake up in the morning wish that I was dead There goes the neighbourhood Right down the toilet I can’t take it mommy, I’m going for the gun I need my peace and quiet, this ought to be fun Wait a minute sonny, don’t you dare pull the trigger. Oh come on mum, it’s only a nigger. There goes the neighbourhood wake up in the morning wish that I was dead There goes the neighbourhood Right down the toilet Remember those days when it was always quiet now every other night it’s a full scale riot the only way to deal with em is to stoop to their level so you finally stop ‘em with a fifty pound shovel
