I'm not one to look behindI know that times must changeBut over there in BarrytownThey do things very strangeThough you're not my enemyI'd like things like they used to beAnd though you'd like some companyI'm standing by myselfGo play with someone elseI can see by what you carry thatYou come from BarrytownDon't believe I'm takenIn by stories I have heardI just read the daily newsAnd swear by every wordAnd don't think that I'm out of lineFor speaking out for what is mineI'd like to see you do just fineBut look at what you wearAnd the way you cut your hairI can tell by what you carry thatYou come from BarrytownIn the beginning we recallThat the word was hurledBarrytown people got to beFrom another worldLeave me or I'll be justLike the others you will meetThey won't act as kindlyIf they see you on the streetAnd don't you scream or make a shoutThere's nothing you can do about itIt was there when you came outIt's a special lack of graceI can see it in your faceI can see by what you carry thatYou come from Barrytown
