Lyrics Little Man - Koritni

Little Man

I grew up in a small town but I ain’t been home in years
I got back juste the other day
And so much had changed or just disappeared
Now I stood in a familiar street full of unfamiliar stores
Every second shop had been boarded up
With a «for lease» sign hanging on their door
I took a walk down the main drag
And I didn’t see any friendly faces in the street
The record store isn’t there no more
And the milk bar owner went and gave up his lease
Now where’s John from the butcher shop?
You know he coached my baseball team
He tried holding on the the bad times
But an empty shop only got him empty dreams
Big business moved right into town
With prices designed to shut him down
They shut him right down
I guess folks prefer the convenience
Or having the wall-mart experience
Take time to think about the little man
Cause he’s lost his job, now what’s he gonna do?
Take time to think about the little man
Cause one day, oh that little man could be you
The petrol station was so great
They’d fill your tank, and even clean your windscreen
I think people living here
Have lost touch with that living in a small town means
But now the street are not safe
And parents don’t want their kids out late
There’s one thing that I know
This town no longer feels like home
Retail wars has now begun
Small business is now on the run
Take time to think about the little man
Cause he’s lost his job, now what’s he gonna do?
Take time to think about the little man
Cause one day, oh that little man could be you
Take time to think about the little man
Cause his job is gone, now what’s a man to do?
Take time to think about the little man
Cause one day, oh that little man could be you
It could happen to you
Yeah you know it could be you…
What’s a man to do?
