Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus[00:00:20]
Homeless people living off crust[00:00:22]
And there's a beat up town car it's starting to rust[00:00:24]
Hard soles are kicking up dust[00:00:27]
Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50's[00:00:30]
To the north all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie[00:00:35]
All the boys in the halfway houses[00:00:40]
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street[00:00:42]
Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on[00:00:45]
Hold on[00:00:51]
We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on[00:00:54]
Hold on[00:01:02]
The desperate downtown stealing bikes[00:01:15]
Drunks in the village are picking fights[00:01:17]
So police like the streets to read them their rights[00:01:19]
No controlling hot summer nights[00:01:22]
The sun goes down on the edge of town at the end of everyday[00:01:24]
We sit and watch the stacks on fire to the east across the bay[00:01:29]
All the boys in the halfway houses[00:01:34]
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street[00:01:37]
Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on[00:01:39]
Hold on[00:01:45]
We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on[00:01:49]
Hold on[00:01:56]
There's something in the church belfry[00:02:09]
On the corner of Victoria and king[00:02:11]
And it screams out into the night[00:02:19]
It sings this city's plight[00:02:24]
All the boys in the halfway houses[00:02:29]
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street[00:02:31]
Hold on hold on[00:02:33]
Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on[00:02:44]
Hold on[00:02:51]
We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on[00:02:54]
Hold on[00:03:01]
