I'm not one to look behind
I know that times must change
But over there in Barricktown They do things very strange
And though you're not my enemy I like things like they used to be
And though you like some company I'm standing by myself
Go play with someone else
I can see by what you carry
That you come from Barricktown
Don't believe I'm taken in By stories I have heard
I just read the daily news And swear by every word
And don't think that I'm out of life Speaking out for what is mine
I'd like to see you do just fine But look at what you wear
And the way you cut your hair I can see by what you carry
That you come from Barricktown
In
the beginning we recall that the world
was her Barricktown people got to be from another
world Leave me or I'll be just like the others
you will meet But they won't act as kindly
If they see you on the street And don't you scream or make a shout
It's nothing you can do about
It was there when you came out
It's a special lack of grace I can see it in your face
I can see by what you carry That you come from Barricktown
