Cynical Bastards |
Now I don’t disagree, it’s a hell of a scene |
Jackson Square dropouts avoiding police |
If the '80s were tough, the '90s were mean |
All that was left for the desperate were these fast cash machines |
And that easy money never helped anything |
With that kind of juice, man, it ain’t worth the squeeze |
But month by month I feel a change in the breeze |
So start moving on make your own history |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards get outta town now |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards move a little faster |
Some people can’t shake the weight of the past |
Some people’s hearts remain at half-mast |
It’s downtown where it all intersects |
Some came from the mountain, college kids from the west |
And not every suit lies right through their teeth |
There’s good and there’s bad, and there’s some in between |
As I wait for the bus coming from the east |
There’s generations of pride and yeah, elbow grease! |
Now, if you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards get outta town now |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards move a little faster |
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!) |
Now I understand if it’s all a bit much |
It’s a bit of a circus, it’s a little bit rough |
I heard this place (Ooh, ooh) was run by the mob (Ooh, ooh) |
Buying everyone off (Ooh, ooh) down at city hall (Ooh, ooh) |
And those Oakville moms, they stick up their nose (It's true) |
Those Burlington dads keep their daughters at home |
If you’re the kind with nothing to say |
You heard about this party, but you’re praying for rain (What!) |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards get outta town now |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards move a little faster |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards get outta town now |
If you want me to boil it down |
All you cynical bastards move a little faster |
Move a little faster, move a little faster |
Move a little faster, move a little faster |
