Lyrics

UNION SQUARE

In the middle of an island
On the street of broken dreams
Lies a haven and a shelter
From the city’s extremes
You won’t find what you want there
But you’ll get what you need
Because the folks down at Union
Don’t care about greed

So come one, come all
Down to Union Square
The lost and the lonely
And those in despair
The homeless and the hungry
And the one’s who don’t care
Come one, come all
Down to Union Square

A dealer got robbed
And he’s explaining it to the muscle
Muscle says he’s gonna make
Both of them pay
And a bug-eyed girl’s cryin’
While a meth head explains
That they can’t kill her boyfriend
He’s already in Spain

In the springtime the flowers
Make the Square feel like bliss
She’s so easy on the eyes
But she still smells like piss
All at once she’s the worst and the best
All at once she’s the worst and the best
