To Be Young In Nyc Lyrics - Manhattan - Skaters

Girl your not on the phone 

So why your talking so loud 

you seem a little too proud 

what the hell are you all about 

He's gotta place on ninth street 

She aint been home in a week 

Let's go meet up with our friends 

and have a smoke in the heap 

Don't be nervous 

who's gonna tell 

There's no one around, but me 

To be young in New York City 

To be young in New York City 

On the train last week 

I bumped into my friends 

said there's a party near the pier 

I hoped she might be there 

oh did you hear about him 

and his little broken heart 

They said that he was untrue 

I heard she fucked half the block 

To be young in New York City 

To be young in New York City 

A generation of jokes 

Directionless, on our feet 

So take a seat on the curb 

I got no place to be 

She said what are your goals 

Where are your ambitious needs 

Well I guess they must be in my other jeans 

To be young in New york city 

To be young in New york city 

To be young in New york city 

To be young in New york city 

While you sit on the phone 

You cant be who you want to become 

When your rich and young 

When your rich and young 

When your rich and dumb 

When your rich and young
