Provincial Blues - Jason Collett

I came to the city

When the city was cheap

Now that she’s had some work done

I pay through the teeth

You came from Alberta

You said 'Toronto's not so bad'

I took it as a compliment

But I couldn’t think of a compliment back

It’s just the wheeze rolling by

It’s just the wheeze rolling by

How did we all get hypnotized

By the time sometimes

How did we all get left behind

By the time sometimes

You went and told your mother

She went and told your dad

That’s how your older brother

Came to get my ass

They send me with New York

I said uhh that provincial shit’s a drag

How come there’s always a better party

That I think I should be at

It’s just the wheeze rolling by

It’s just the wheeze rolling by

How did we all get hypnotized

By the time sometimes

How did we all get left behind

By the time sometimes

It’s just the wheeze rolling by

By and by

It’s just the wheeze rolling by
