Well it's a run-down kind of a place
When the summer comes by
You can almost live alive
Cause there's girls all over the place
And the boys drive by
Playing hip hop on the hi-fi.

Cause we're hip
Cause we're not
Every body wants a piece of this place
Cause we're hip
Cause we're not
Everybody wants a piece of this place
Everybody wants a piece of this place
Everybody wants a piece of this place

Run-down kind of a place
Where the sun seldom shines
And the girls are hard to find
And the nights get harder to face
With the cold clean lines
Playing havoc on your mind all day

Cause we're hip
Cause we're not
Every body wants a piece of this place
Cause we're hip
Cause we're not
Everybody wants a piece of this place
Everybody wants a piece of this place
Everybody wants a piece of this place

What happens when the
Tourists move away?
Council will get shitty
Rename it leonard cohen city
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes…
