My City Was Gone

I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
Well, I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed

My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

'Gone Ye'

Referring to Kanye's harassment of Pete Davidson and ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, this phrase describes someone's abusive language and behavior (usually portrayed on social media) that has gone completely off, due to unchecked mental illness, extreme narcissism, delusions of grandeur, and/or an overinflated sense of 'self.' This behavior, though soundly condemned by others, is allowed to continue, sometimes without consequences, due to the perpetrator's position of fame/status/power.

Did you see Will Smith get up and slap Chris Rock at the Academy Awards? Man, he went full 'Gone Ye' and then got the 'Best Actor Award' and a standing ovation!
