Vancouver State of Mind

ACC-HE

You wanna live near downtown? West End off Robson.
A Half a mill 1 bedroom, that's how we roll son.

Collecting average pay cheque. But still if you can make it here
You can make it anywhere. (Less expensive everywhere)

I used to roll in Yaletown, all of my young urban pros.
Right there off of Homer, eatin' our steam rolled burritos.

Hit the twin Starbucks, Robson and Thurlow Street.
Can't afford my coffee, cuz of ****ing HST.

Cruising down Georgia, dark grey Rav 4.
Can't park my ride, yo. Parking costs a **** load.

I'm out to GM Place, home of Luongo.
2010 hero. Cup's still a no go.

Chugging my 6 dollar beer, 90 dollar ticket.
Sitting nosebleed, up so high I can't see ****.

Pints at the Cambie. Doubles at the Morrisey.
Tell by my broke ass that I'm most definitely from...

[chorus]
Vancouver!
West Coast city where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can't do,
Here in Vancouver!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
These sights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver.

Kid Carson in the morning, only good thing on the Beat.
Can't stand hearing Kei$ha, guess I'll listen to the Peak.
Getting tired of C-Fox. Jacks a crappy franchise.
Whenever Nickelback is played, God makes sure a kitten dies.

Head for lunch on Broadway, every corner sushi's sold.
Grab a bite at Tojo's, Home of the Cali roll.
Fujiya, Shabusen, Japadog, Eatery,
Got your Japanese food. You're covered for your sushi needs.

We're Hollywood North, full of actors trying to make it.
5 bucks for the lead in a student film, they'll take it.
Smallville, X-Files, Fringe, and Galactica
Vancouver Library a stand in for old Caprica

Home of Seth Rogan, Ryan Reynolds, Tegan Quinn
Micheal J Fox, welcome back Josh Jackson.
Shooting scenes in Stanley Park. Avoid Junkies in Pigeon Park.
Checkin' out Grace Park, sexin' up the Battlestar.

West Coast city where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can't do,
Here in Vancouver!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
These sights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver.

One hand in the air for Van City,
Sweet sights, big dreams all looking pretty,
No place in the world that can compare,
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeaaahh
yeaaahh, yeah
