Cletis Carr - Angeltown Lyrics
Johnny lives on a corner in AngeltownIn a house that his grandad built, they nearly tore it downTo make way for the freeway and the shopping mallHe heard it was something called the urban sprawlThe more things change, the less they stay the sameIn Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in AngeltownJohnny loved his hometown, he didn't like the changeDaddy said, now ain't that progress, but don't those words sound strangeJohnny walked thru Angeltown with his last five bucksBought a ticket in the lottery trying to buy some luckThe more things change, the less they stay the sameIn Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in AngeltownIt's a strange old world, no reason or rhymeIt's a strange old world, where things work out sometimesSo Johnny won the lottery, became a billionaire, and he said, There's things in Angeltown that need repairSo he bought up the freeways, he bought the shopping mallsTore 'em down, turned 'em back into grounds where they still play ballAnd the more things change, the more they stay the sameIn Angeltown, in Angeltown Living in A... living in Angeltown
