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

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

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