The Vancouver National Anthem
Out of the alleys are needle-strewn fields
Into the sunlight the brochures reveal
Like snakes come for rabbits and rabbits for meals
Where the ore and the axe flies
Well this is our story (stick too it!) but it ain't the truth
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
Around here love's a gangster and charity's the brute
Where God deals on Sundays under a brain burning roof
It's 5 blocks of universe and aliens for reach [??]
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
And we end up between them the carrion fy
Living off skeletons recycled lies
This is the place we find out
Well this is the way we find out
We all live downtown
Pay $1250, no parking
Live with a clown
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
Pay in blood, no parking
Sleep on the ground
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)

Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)
Step over ourselves
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves (over ourselves)
Step over ourselves
Well this is our story (stick to it!) but it ain't the truth
'Cause the truth's just for liars that need an excuse
For a King crowned a banker, the Queen crowned a noose
Like heirs to a graveyard where the dirt's always loose
It's 5 blocks of universe and aliens for reach [??]
Like invisible ghettos of privilege and grief
And we end up between them the carrion fly
Picking on skeletons under a big Northern sky
This is the place you find out
Yeah this is the way you find out
We all live downtown
We all die downtown
Step over ourselves
Step over ourselves
