If the 80's were tough, the 90's were mean
Dm C
All that was left for the desperate

Verse
C Dm C
Some people can't shake the weight of the past
Dm C G
Some people's hearts remain at half-mast
Dm C Dm C
It's downtown where it all intersects
Dm C
Some came from the mountains

Dm C Dm C
As I wait for the bus coming from the east
Dm C G
There's generations of pride and elbow grease

Dm C Dm C
I heard this place was run by the mob
Dm C G
Buying everyone off down at city hall
Dm C Dm C
Those Oakville moms, they stick up their nose
Dm C G
Those Burlington dads keep their daughters at home
Dm C Dm C
If you're the kind with nothing to say
Dm C G
You heard about this party, but you're praying for rain, what?
