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

If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, get out town now
Bm               A       Bm           D         G         D            G
If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, move a little faster

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
If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, get out town now
Bm               A       Bm           D         G         D            G
If you want me to boil it down, all you cynical bastards, move a little faster

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?
