Cynical Bastards - Arkells

Now I don’t disagree, it’s a hell of a scene

Jackson Square dropouts avoiding police

If the '80s were tough, the '90s were mean

All that was left for the desperate were these fast cash machines

And that easy money never helped anything

With that kind of juice, man, it ain’t worth the squeeze

But month by month I feel a change in the breeze

So start moving on make your own history

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards get outta town now

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards move a little faster

Some people can’t shake the weight of the past

Some people’s hearts remain at half-mast

It’s downtown where it all intersects

Some came from the mountain, college kids from the west

And not every suit lies right through their teeth

There’s good and there’s bad, and there’s some in between

As I wait for the bus coming from the east

There’s generations of pride and yeah, elbow grease!

Now, if you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards get outta town now

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards move a little faster

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!)

Now I understand if it’s all a bit much

It’s a bit of a circus, it’s a little bit rough

I heard this place (Ooh, ooh) was run by the mob (Ooh, ooh)

Buying everyone off (Ooh, ooh) down at city hall (Ooh, ooh)

And those Oakville moms, they stick up their nose (It's true)

Those Burlington dads keep their daughters at home

If you’re the kind with nothing to say

You heard about this party, but you’re praying for rain (What!)

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards get outta town now

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards move a little faster

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards get outta town now

If you want me to boil it down

All you cynical bastards move a little faster

Move a little faster, move a little faster

Move a little faster, move a little faster
