Dan Bern – City lyrics
You say the city has changed well maybe it's true
Why'say everything moves too fast down the avenue
Why'say you just don't get that thrill tea for two
Why'say the city has changed well maybe it's you

You been east side, west side up and down, all around the town
Stomped through your old stomping grounds, cracked open your old crown
Why'say the sidewalks are made of concrete, 'stead of mountain dew
Why'say the city has changed well maybe it's you

Small-town boy you always thought you were a big-town man
Maybe your orchestra is just a ragtime band

Why'say the city looks different it's somehow lost its charm
Fire engine fly by with its annoying alarm
Did the angels ever really look this sad and blue
Why'say the city has changed well maybe it's you
