lyrics

Here on Huron
Up and down this street
This is the place I call my home
And rest my tired feet

Here on Huron
Up and down this street
Our house tucked in by the railroad tracks
Across from the factory

The railway tracks, they grind and scream
The railwav workers sigh
The busy old blackbirds holler down
From on the wire line

The kids sit out on the factory steps
Lighting their cigarettes
While another punk does another run
On the dirty printing press

Huron Huron
That is an old old name
They called themselves the Wvandot
And settled near Georgian Bay

Huron Huron
An insult at the time
The noble French though them nothing more
Than savages or swine

The changing of power
Is sometimes hard to name
But in this case, as in others
It really is quite plain

How we choose our idols
Much like how we choose or fools
Nationhood and history
We often get confused

How we speak and punctuate
And how we write it down
A lease that once read a hundred years
Might soon become a thousand

So do not trust the government
There's nothing to be gained
I has become so clear to me
That someone fixed this game

Here on Huron
I live out my days
I sit and watch the storm roll in
And think about my ways

Here on Huron
I live out my days
I sit and watch the storm roll in
And think about my ways
