We learned to skate here back in the 80s
and I can take you to the spot near the vacant lot
where they buried my favorite baby
Now we been kicked out and scolded berated
and just plain told*ed certain people didnt like our company
Well, they're gonna have a riot if they try to keep us quiet
'cause its our town too and well do we please
Some lady didnt like the way we danced
so she bought the building and doubled the rent
And the club that she couldn't buy burned down to the floor
Well, I ain't gotta worry, because lady, when you die I wont be sad no more
Some people got together and they built a place they could call their own
and people came runnin' from miles around
sayin' you're doin' it all wrong
making up the rules as they went along
