Ode to Canal Street.


Ladies on a tour, from Alabama
Church on Sunday, 
a shopping spree
Looking for goods to make them feel complete.
Louis like, looks real niceConvincing the girl's back home of its high price.
Here's to the man on the corner 
  selling bubble machines and cell phone chargers
To passer-by's on their way back to jersey.
No mercy
Here on center and canal
Supply and demand
People glassed over, stand
They congregate and corral
 folks from all over
All I want is my coffee
And a fucking bulldozer

I get the attraction
Who am I to judge ?
It's quick satisfaction
I shouldn't hold a grudge

One day Disney will come
Clean up the canal, erase all the fun
The rent will skyrocket selling "views of the bridge"
A little studio apartment, with bearly a fridge.
That little home will cost you 3 grand
You will think that is cheap, and you have the upperhand.
So I guess I'll keep my mouth shut
Greatfully sit 
sip my coffee and write my shit
