"They're digging for gold in my neighborhood, for what they say is the greater good / But all I see is a long goodbye, a requiem for a skyline." Don't recognize the lyrics to Gold Rush? It's a new song from Death Cab for Cutie, and it's a slam on the band's Seattle neighbor Amazon.

It's the first track on the alternative rock outfit's new album Thank You for Today. The album is set for release Aug. 17, but the music video for Gold Rush was posted to YouTube on Wednesday, where it's so far attracted more than 73,000 views. The tune's lyrics discuss Seattle's changing neighborhoods.
