New York I love you,
But youre bringing me down
New York I love you,
But youre bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage,
Hauling minimum wage.
New York I love you,
But youre bringing me down
New York youre safer
And youre wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once theyde run out of crime
New York youre perfect
Oh please dont change a thing
Youre moral billionaire mayors now convinced hes a king
So the boring collect,
I mean all disrespect
In the neighbourhood bars I once dreamt i would drink
New York I love you,
But youre freaking me out
Theres a ton of the tiwst,
But were fresh out of shout.
Like a death in the hall,
That you hear through your wall
New York I love you,
But youre freaking me out
New York I love you,
But youre bringing me down
New York I love you,
But youre bringing me down
Like a death of the heart,
Jesus, where do I start
But youre still the one pool where Id happily drown…
And Ill take me off your mailing list,
For kids who think it still exists,
Yes, for those who think it still exists.
Maybe Im wrong
And maybe youre right
Maybe Im wrong and maybe youre right.
Maybe youre right,
Maybe Im wrong
And just maybe youre right…
And ohhhh,
Maybe mother told you true,
And therell always be someone there for you,
And youll never be alone
But maybe shes wrong
And maybe Im right
And just maybe shes wrong
Maybe shes wrong
And maybe Im right
