Blue Rodeo - It Could Happen to You lyrics

They broke off the locks and they opened the doors Pushed out the windows and painted the floors Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand Raised up the roof 'till it touched the sky Picked up the pieces that were left to die Brought this building back with a healing hand When you see trouble You're bound to move in on the double 'Cause you leave your mark upon everything In your head those Liberty Bells still ring But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say So you brought in the army to do your job Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs Back in the morning to watch themselves on the news You're doing the bidding of the money man If it turns out right they'll call you 'friend' One little favor how could you really refuse Oh my heart is sinking Same old useless, worn out thinking You live your life in the court of kings Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring But we don't even understand a thing you say It could happen to you... It could happen to you... It could happen to you Sometime when you least expect it Done by the ones that you never suspected All your bills come due, it could happen to you You really got to wonder what you did it for Cause you don't need an army to move out the poor You brought it out once, I know you can bring it again Well, Oh my heart is sinking The same old useless, worn out thinking You live your life in the court of kings Count your money as the raven sings Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings But all your riches won't mean a thing someday Oh, It could happen to you Oh, It could happen to you Oh, It could happen to you Oh, It could happen to you
