This is not us
Born and bred in Vancouver
Remember this, the morning after
Why did you trash my downtown backyard?
Such a beautiful city
Destroyed by such a few
Shame shame, double shame
Where does this anger and hate come from?
A riot in the city of love
We are so much more than this
These are not the fans we need or deserve
I wish we could have been better
When you talk about destruction
You know you can count me out
You will pay, somewhere, somehow
The city belongs to us
The people whose words are on the walls
I am proud to walk around the morning after
And see everybody clean
What a few people destroyed
Love can save us, only love
Vancouver sigue de pie
Te amo hermosa cuidad
Better luck next year boys
