Lou Antonucci - The Merchant On Market Square Тексты

I'm a merchant here on Market Square trying to save my piece of the pie. Is it really right, or even fair that my livelihood should be denied for this renaissance of glass and steel? The city's on their side. They're tearing down my life!
Too fast, you're movin' too fast for a simple man like me. I worked hard half a life on the southside, just to raise my family. My business grew so I moved uptown here to Market Square - a life savings down. But the city says, let's tear it down, and give it all to PPG.
Too slow, the court's too slow for a common man like me. All my friends said stay, but the judge says 'no' - and I though this life was free. One by one as the shops close down here on Market Square - I'm losing ground. I won't give in, won't lay it down, won't give it all to PPG!

Ah, it's my life!
Too much it's all too much for a broken man like me. My bank accounts lie empty, and there's a loophole in my lease. "We'll give you thirty days, not a minute more" here on Market Square - I gotta close my doors. It makes no sense 'cause if I wanna eat, gotta go to work for PPG.
I'm a merchant late of Market Square, tried to save my piece of the pie. Was it really right, or even fair for my livelihood to be denied for this renaisssance of glass and steel? The city's on their side. They're tearing down my life!
