Well, big bad man come into town
Gave sweets to the children
Pushed their daddies around

Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight
No more fear in the hearts of whites


He built a hall
Put on a show
From high above watched his boulders roll

Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall
He named his price: his face on every wall.
His face on every wall

Oh, his face on every wall

Now the factories have all shut down

No more cloth stitched in this town
So the only job for the boy and I
In the prison making tile shine

Someday that man will come here too
With that magic hat, spit and glue
He'll wash the stone

Paint the brick
Rename the streets
And make the clocks all tick on time

He'll make us run on time

And every town will celebrate someday

Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Wearing culture on their backs
Wearing spirit on their hats

One by one they'll join the parade
And celebrate
Every town will celebrate someday


Now corners near and corners far
Are somehow the same coffee bar

And community is felt again
Thanks to folks I've never met
They slayed the artists

Sold their arts
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
Raised the prices

Raised the rent
Some days I wish that I could go back again
No, I can't go back again


And every town will celebrate someday
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes

Wearing culture on their backs
Wearing spirit on their hats
One by one they'll join the parade

And celebrate
Every town will celebrate someday


Just like they do in Florida
Down in Celebration, Florida
And when every road is Main Street, USA

We'll be safely kept at bay
From any disruption or display
Of truth, adventure, love and rage

Of truth, adventure, love and rage
Of truth, adventure, love and rage, HEY!


Every town will celebrate someday
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Wearing culture on their backs

Wearing spirit on their hats
One by one they'll join the parade
And celebrate

Every town will celebrate someday

Every town will celebrate

Every town will celebrate
Every town will celebrate someday
