Barrytown

I'm not one to look behind, I know that times must change
 But over there in Barrytown, they do things very strange
 And though you're not my enemy
 I like things like they used to be
 And though you'd like some company
 I'm standing by myself
 Go play with someone else
 I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
 ♪
 Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
 I just read the Daily News and swear by every word
 And don't feel that I'm out of line
 For speaking out for what is mine
 I'd like to see you do just fine
 But look at what you wear
 And the way you cut your hair
 I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
 ♪
 In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled
 Barrytown people got to be from another world
 ♪
 Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
 They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
 And don't you scream or make a shout
 It's nothing you can do about
 It was there where you came out
 It's a special lack of grace
 I can see it in your face
 I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
