New York I love you
but you're
bringing me down
New York I love you
but you're
bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
pulling minimum wage
New York I love you
but you're
bringing me down
New York you're safer
and you're
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 they'd
run out of crime
New York you're perfect
don't please
don't change a thing
Your mild
billionaire mayor's
now convinced
he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt
I would drink
New York I love you
but you're
freaking me out
There's a ton
of the twist
but we're
fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
that you hear
through your wall
New York I love you
but you're
freaking me out
New York I love you
but you're
bringing me down
New York I love you
but you're
bringing me down
Like a death
of the heart
Jesus where do I start
But you're still
the one pool
where I'd happily drown
And oh
take me off
your mailing list
for kids who think
it still exists
yes for those who think
it still exists
maybe I'm wrong
and maybe you're right
maybe I'm wrong
and maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
maybe I'm wrong
and just maybe
you're right
And oh
maybe mother told you true
and there always
be somebody
there for you
And you'll
never be alone
but maybe she's wrong
maybe I'm right
and just maybe
she's wrong
maybe she's wrong
and maybe I'm right
and if so here's
this this song
