This is Philly
By Jeff Guerrero
To the tune of the Clash’s “This is England“
City Hall for Critical Mass, on a Friday night,
No arrests, no impounded bikes; no one starts a fight.
Food and drinks at Mom’s place really sounds alright,
Ride down to Point Breeze, The Sidecar til’ closing time.
This is Philly,
This bike of carbon steel.
This is Philly.
This is how we feel…
Fairmount to Fishtown, South Street for some punk,
Six pack alleycat race, getting lost in Manayunk.
Buy a disc at Relapse, then refill at Monk’s.
After hours at 3am—no mother, we’re not drunk…
This is Philly…
