Paragraph Lyric
Late afternoon, another day is nearly done
A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
That hollow hurried sound, feet on polished floor
And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up
And counting loonies trying not to say

I hate Winnipeg

The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway
The same route everyday
And in the turning lane
Someone's stalled again
He's talking to himself
And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase

I hate Winnipeg

And up above us all
Leaning into sky
Our golden business boy
Will watch the North End die
And sing, “I love this town”
Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim

I
Hate
Winnipeg
Late afternoon, another day is nearly done   A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one   A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground   That hollow hurried sound, feet on polished floor   And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up   And counting loonies trying not to say      I hate Winnipeg      The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late   The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates   The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway   The same route everyday   And in the turning lane   Someone's stalled again   He's talking to himself   And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase      I hate Winnipeg      And up above us all   Leaning into sky   Our golden business boy   Will watch the North End die   And sing, “I love this town”   Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim      I    Hate   Winnipeg
