Well, big bad man come into town
Giving sweets to the children, pushed their daddies around
Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight
No more fear in the hearts of whites
He built a hall, put on a show, from high above, watched his boulders roll
Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall
He named his price: his face on every wall.
Ohhh, his face on every wall...
Now the factories have all shut down
No more cloth stitched in this town
So the only job for boy and I, in the prison making tile shine
Someday that man will come here too, with that magic hat, spit and glue
Hell wash the stone, paint the brick,
Rename the streets and make the clocks all tick... On time
He'll make us run on time
:
And every town will celebrate someday
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Wearing culture on their backs, wearing spirit on their hats
One by one theyll join the parade and celebrate
Every town will celebrate someday
Now corners near and corners far
Are somehow the same coffee bar
And community is felt again
Thanks to folks Ive never met
They slayed the artists, sold their arts,
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
Raised the prices, raised the rent
Some days I wish that I could go back again
Noooo, I cant go back again
:
Just like they do in Florida
Down in Celebration, Florida
And when every road is Main Street, U.S.A.
Well be safely kept at bay
From any disruption or display
Of truth, adventure, love and rage
Truth, adventure, love and rage
Truth, adventure, love and rage HEY!
Every Town will celebrate, Every Town will celebrate
Every Town will celebrate someday!
