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
What those neon lights ????

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 Aw but I know that somethin'
bad is gonna change
Oh yes I know that somethin' bad is gonna change

Well I see you working round the clock till six A.M.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To a head above 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 Aw but I know that somethin'
bad is gonna change
Oh yes I know that somethin' bad is gonna 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 Aw but I know that somethin'
bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethin' bad had gotta change
yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
