Johnny lives on a corner in Angeltown
|
In a house that his grandad built, they nearly tore it down
|
To make way for the freeway and the shopping mall
|
He heard it was something called the urban sprawl
|
|
The more things change, the less they stay the same
|
In Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in Angeltown
|
|
Johnny loved his hometown, he didn't like the change
|
Daddy said, now ain't that progress, but don't those words sound strange
|
Johnny walked thru Angeltown with his last five bucks
|
Bought a ticket in the lottery trying to buy some luck
|
The more things change, the less they stay the same
|
In Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in Angeltown
|
|
It's a strange old world, no reason or rhyme
|
It's a strange old world, where things work out sometimes
|
|
So Johnny won the lottery, became a billionaire, and he said,
|
There's things in Angeltown that need repair
|
So he bought up the freeways, he bought the shopping malls
|
Tore 'em down, turned 'em back into grounds where they still play ball
|
|
And the more things change, the more they stay the same
|
In Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in Angeltown
