New York New York lyrics

Smoking marijuana

Watching channel five

Got to get my strength up

In this struggle to survive



Everyone`s an asshole

Everyone`s a creep

I look out my window

And there`s garbage in the streets



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares



Everybody`s hungry

I don`t know what to do

I used to live on pizza

Now I live on Chinese food



I can`t stand my neighbors

Screaming all the time

If I wasn`t blasting Sister ray

I could lose my mind



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares



Safely someone`s smiling

The fat man waits his turn

Soon he`ll count his money

While the south Bronx slowly burns

Get out for the children

Get your ass and run

Get out of this stinkin mess

To a safe suburban slum



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares
