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
