Soul of This Town

[Verse 1]
When you come back home, boy
You're gonna be so surprised
This little town that you came from
Has just left us behind
Well, they knocked down all the places
You and me would hang around

[Chorus]
It's just bricks and stone
Skin and bone
But what about the soul of this town?

[Verse 2]
Did you see that big ol' high-rise?
Where Sonny's used to be
Well, he fought 'til it was high time
Now he's in Sault Saint Marie
Millie's tryin' to keep the diner
Tryin' hard not to drown

[Chorus]
It's just bricks and stone
Yeah, skin and bone
But what about the soul of this town?
Yeah, what about the soul of this town?

[Bridge]
(What about the soul?)
(What about the soul?)
(What about the soul?)

[Verse 3]
They say they cleaned up all the projects
Welcomed everyone to stay
The rent keeps on risin'
And pushin' everybody away
How can it be with all that money?
There's not enough to go around

[Chorus]
It's just bricks and stone
Yeah, skin and bone
Yeah, but what about the soul of this town?
Yeah, what about the soul of this town? (Woah)
What about the soul of this town?

[Outro]
It's bricks and stone
Skin and bone
What about the soul of this town?
