My City Was Gone
The Pretenders, from Learning to Crawl (1984)

I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
Southtown it had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?

I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Saw this world past
Like the wind thorugh the trees
Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?

You believe a government can exist forever without art.
I disagree.
IMO, art is important to existence of government, to culture, and to the continuance of the human race.

Tim, there is no way I'll change your mind and no way you can change mine on this one. Can we agree to disagree? Some things I just can't see arguing about.
