II isn't Your Town: It's You.

" isn't Your Town: It's You!
Ii you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind Of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock ut Yourself when you knock
your town.
1t lent the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to see.
1t isn't the town-its you.
