One Great City! |
| Late afternoon, another day is nearly done |
| A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one |
| A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground |
| That hollow hurried sound, feet on polished floor |
| And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up |
| And counting loonies trying not to say |
| I hate Winnipeg |
| The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late |
| The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates |
| The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway |
| The same route everyday |
| And in the turning lane |
| Someone’s stalled again |
| He’s talking to himself |
| And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase |
| I hate Winnipeg |
| And up above us all |
| Leaning into sky |
| Our golden business boy |
| Will watch the North End die |
| And sing, «I love this town» |
| Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim |
| I hate Winnipeg |
