Well they´re shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they´re holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I´m older now and have a tainted attitude
Why´d those neon lights all lose their common blue?
And it´s not like me to feel so important
And it´s not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I´d see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Well I see ´em working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer´s at minus five degrees
And I´m wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity
And it´s not like me to feel so important
And it´s not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I´d see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Go!
And it´s not like me to feel so important
And it´s not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I´d see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Yes I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethin´ bad has gotta change
