New York, New York Lyrics - Singles - The Dictators

Smoking marijuana 

And watching channel five 

I got to get my strength up 

This struggle to survive 

Well, everyone's an asshole 

Everyone's a creep 

I look out the city 

There's bungalows in the streets 

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 stinking 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 

New York, New York 

New York, New York 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York 

New York, New York 

New York, New York, New York 

New York, New York 

New York, New York
