Provincial Blues

I came to the city
When the city was cheap
Now that she’s had some work done
I pay through the teeth
You came from Alberta
You said 'Toronto's not so bad'
I took it as a compliment
But I couldn’t think of a compliment back
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
How did we all get hypnotized
By the time sometimes
How did we all get left behind
By the time sometimes
You went and told your mother
She went and told your dad
That’s how your older brother
Came to get my ass
They send me with New York
I said uhh that provincial shit’s a drag
How come there’s always a better party
That I think I should be at
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
How did we all get hypnotized
By the time sometimes
How did we all get left behind
By the time sometimes
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
By and by
It’s just the wheeze rolling by
