Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Late afternoon, another day is nearly done
ย
A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
ย
A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
ย
That hollow, hurried sound
Of 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
ย
The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
ย
The Guess Who suck, the Jets were lousy anyway
ย
The same route every day
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
ย
And up above us all, leaning into sky
A 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
ย
