Alexander, our older brother,
set out for a great adventure.
He tore our images out of his pictures,
he scratched our names out of all his letters.
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
Come on Alex, you can do it.
Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it.
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin,
if you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'!
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!
For the neighborhood
Our older brother bit by a Vampire!
For a year we caught his tears in a cup.
And now we're gonna make him drink it.
Come on Alex don't die or dry up!
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!
When daddy comes home you always start a fight,
so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights.
The police disco lights.
Now the neighbors can dance! (x4)

Review about Neighborhood #2 (Laika) What Laika means... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/28/09
Kaylee, Laika was the name of the dog that the Soviets sent into space on Sputnik 2. She was the first living creature to be sent into space, and because Sputnik 2 was never meant to return to earth safely, she died in space. Today she is regarded as a kind of tragic and needless sacrifice for the progress of the space race.

I understand the Supertramp reference, but I'm trying to understand whether they approve of him or not. I'm not sure whether they support his actions against his family, or if they think it was wrong.
And what does Laika mean? How is it relevant to the song?
Alexander Supertramp... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/08
Apparently this song is about Christopher McCandless, or 'Alexander Supertramp' as he preferred to be called.
His story is documented in the novel (and now major film) 'Into The Wild', if anyone is interested in finding out more.
Love it.

I love this song. It just motivates me when I'm feeling sad or angry. It just... helps, for some reason. =D I do love this song.
