Song lyrics

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 that 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.

Maybe mother told you true,
And there'll always be
Somebody there for you,
And you'll never be alone.

But maybe she's wrong,
And maybe I'm right,
And just maybe she's wrong,
Maybe she's wrong,
And maybe I'm right,
And if so, is there?
