Little Man - Koritni

I grew up in a small town but I ain’t been home in years

I got back juste the other day

And so much had changed or just disappeared

Now I stood in a familiar street full of unfamiliar stores

Every second shop had been boarded up

With a «for lease» sign hanging on their door

I took a walk down the main drag

And I didn’t see any friendly faces in the street

The record store isn’t there no more

And the milk bar owner went and gave up his lease

Now where’s John from the butcher shop?

You know he coached my baseball team

He tried holding on the the bad times

But an empty shop only got him empty dreams

Big business moved right into town

With prices designed to shut him down

They shut him right down

I guess folks prefer the convenience

Or having the wall-mart experience

Take time to think about the little man

Cause he’s lost his job, now what’s he gonna do?

Take time to think about the little man

Cause one day, oh that little man could be you

The petrol station was so great

They’d fill your tank, and even clean your windscreen

I think people living here

Have lost touch with that living in a small town means

But now the street are not safe

And parents don’t want their kids out late

There’s one thing that I know

This town no longer feels like home

Retail wars has now begun

Small business is now on the run

Take time to think about the little man

Cause he’s lost his job, now what’s he gonna do?

Take time to think about the little man

Cause one day, oh that little man could be you

Take time to think about the little man

Cause his job is gone, now what’s a man to do?

Take time to think about the little man

Cause one day, oh that little man could be you

It could happen to you

Yeah you know it could be you…

What’s a man to do?
