Verse
D#m C# D#m C#
Now I don't disagree, it's a hell of a scene
D#m C# G#
Jackson Square dropouts avoiding police
D#m C# D#m C#
If the 80's were tough, the 90's were mean
D#m C#
All that was left for the desperate
G#
Were these fast cash machines
D#m C# D#m C#
That easy money never helped anything
D#m C# G#
With that kind of juice, man, it ain't worth the squeeze
D#m C# D#m C#
But month by month I feel a change in the breeze
D#m C# G#
So start moving on make your own history
Chorus

Verse
C# D#m C#
Some people can't shake the weight of the past
D#m C# G#
Some people's hearts remain at half-mast
D#m C# D#m C#
It's downtown where it all intersects
D#m C#
Some came from the mountains
G#
College kids from the west
D#m C#
And not every suit lies right through their teeth
D#m C# G#
There's good and there's bad, and then there's some in between
D#m C# D#m C#
As I wait for the bus coming from the east
D#m C# G#
There's generations of pride and elbow grease
Chorus

If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, get out town now
A#m G# A#m C# F# C# F#

Verse
D#m C# D#m C#
I understand if it's all a bit much
D#m C# G#
It's a bit of a circus; it's a little bit rough
D#m C# D#m C#
I heard this place was run by the mob
D#m C# G#
Buying everyone off down at city hall
D#m C# D#m C#
Those Oakville moms, they stick up their nose
D#m C# G#
Those Burlington dads keep their daughters at home
D#m C# D#m C#
If you're the kind with nothing to say
D#m C# G#
You heard about this party, but you're praying for rain, what?
