Eskanaba
Up in the upper peninsula
There sits a town called Escanaba
I have never been there
But I'll pretend that I have
In the town of Escanaba
they used to have a brewery
M-35 runs through the fun
straight into Menominee
Down here, the story goes
Tearing down history for condos
No low-cost housing for us anymore
Families kicked out, shown to the door
Down here, the story goes
Tearing down history for condos
No low-cost housing for us anymore
Families kicked out, shown to the door
Now they're tearing down everything in sight
Pressuring us with their money and their might
Let's wreck what's been here for so long
Why don't more people see that this is wrong?
The people in Escanaba are richer than us
Because of the fact they still can trust
That nature will be there when they wake up
And our shit gets torn down just to make a buck
Down here, the story goes
Tearing down history for condos
No low-cost housing for us anymore
Families kicked out, shown to the door
Down here, the story goes
Tearing down history for condos
No low-cost housing for us anymore
Families kicked out, shown to the door
