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

Verse

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

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