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

If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, get out town now

Break Bm A Bm Bm G F#m G 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
D                A       Bm           D         G         D            G

Break D A Bm Bm G Bm G D A Bm Em D C#m Bm A Verse
Em         D         Em           D
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?
