A chance encounter that reveals deeper truths about society.
Verse 1
I was coming into a bigger city
That's when I saw her
On the corner
Stopped to get me a coffee
And on the way in
I asked her
'Do you want one?'
Chorus
And we stood under the awning
Watching the night sky turn to rain
Verse 2
She had a little boy around the corner
Working the store six days a week
Boyfriend left her and the baby
Headed back east
Bridge
And this is what's happening
This is what's happening
It starts as revitalization, investment
Privatization
Next thing the whole country
Is owned by a private corporate entity
Outro
They'll sell it to the highest bidder
But you know what they're after
A million miles of pasture
A million miles of land, water and trees
They'll sell it to the highest bidder
They'll sell our soul
Our sovereignty
