The buildings went up
The buildings came down
And everything's changed
About this town

Some had to go
Some stayed behind
Some couldn't make up
Their mind

Stand like a statue
With nothing to lose
The answer is somewhere
In things that you choose

Get on a bus
And go where it takes you
You look for a place
Somewhere to belong to
And I'll join you, I'll join you

There's too many things
On your mind
We've become tired
And a little touched by time
Oh, oh

Scrape the barnacles
From the hull of your ship
Everyone here's become
Tragically hip

Buildings went up
Buildings came down
Oh, everything's changed
About this town

Get on a bus
And go where it takes you
Look for a place
Somewhere to belong to

I'll join you
And I'll join you
And I'll join you
