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 minds
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
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
The buildings went up
The buildings came down
And 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
