That may have been the exact meaning to the song, but I think anybody who lives in an older city can relate to this song. I live in Pittsburgh, and have seen it deteriorate pretty bad over the years. It used to be a booming blue-collar steel town, but now most college graduates can't even find a job here... not to mention there's practically no industry anymore. When I hear this song, I think of think of my city and the pride I have in it... I WANT IT BACK THE WAY IT USED TO BE!
