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

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

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