Now I don't disagree, it's a hell of a scene

Some people can't shake the weight of the past

Some people's hearts remain at half-mast

Bm A Bm A
As I wait for the bus coming from the east
Bm A E

Buying everyone off down at city hall
Bm A Bm A
Those Oakville moms, they stick up their nose
Bm A E
Those Burlington dads keep their daughters at home
Bm A Bm A
If you're the kind with nothing to say
Bm A E
You heard about this party, but you're praying for rain, what?
