The Vancouver National Anthem |
| Out of the alleys, our needle strewn fields |
| Into the sunlight that the brochures reveal |
| Like snakes come for rabbits and rabbits for meals |
| Where the oar and the axe flies |
| Well this is our story (stick to it) but it ain’t the truth |
| Cause the truth’s just for liars that need an excuse |
| Around here love’s a gangster and charity’s the proof |
| Where God deals on Sunday’s under a rain burning roof |
| It’s five blocks a universe and aliens for each |
| Like invisible ghettos of priviledge and grief |
| And pinned up between them the carrion fly |
| Living off skeletons of recycled lives |
| This is the place you find out |
| Well this is the way you find out |
| We all live downtown |
| Pay two even, no parking |
| Live with a clown |
| Step over ourselves |
| We all live downtown |
| Pay in blood, no parking |
| Sleep on the ground |
| Step over ourselves |
| We all live downtown |
| We all die downtown |
| Step over ourselves |
| Well this is our story (stick to it) but it ain’t the truth |
| Cause the truth’s just for liars that need an excuse |
| For a king crown a banker, the queen crown a noose |
| Like heirs to a graveyard where the dirt’s always loose |
| It’s five blocks a universe and aliens for each |
| Like invisible ghettos of priviledge and grief |
| And pinned up between them the carrion fly |
| Picking off skeletons under a big northern sky |
| This is the place where you find out |
| Well this is the way you find out |
| We all live downtown |
| We all die downtown |
| Step over ourselves |
