Livin' In New York City Lyrics

Naked man stalking the park all day

Scaring all the kids and old ladies away

His pet chicken pecks at the trash on the ground

Puking on his feet as he stumbles around

You pick yours and I'll pick mine

Losers get the rotting fruit off the vine

Nobody said the Big Apple was free

Homeless in the streets of New York City

Dealers selling stocks and bonds play for keeps

I don't mean the kind they trade on Wall Street

Rich kids buying ignore the warnings

Sold out in Jersey high schools by morning

You shoot yours and I'll shoot mine

Another shitty cocktail to twist up our minds

Nobody said I'd wake up pretty

Or wake up at all in some hole in the city

Living in New York City

Living in New York City

I doubt in my life

I'm ever gonna see

Bums getting out

Or addicts getting clean

Living in New York City

Living in New York City

Uptown, downtown it all smells the same

Dead cats, dead rats singing in the rain

Ambulance driver takes another hit

To keep his shit together for one more trip

You choose yours and I'll choose mine

All roads meet at the end of the line

Nobody said it came off with a squeegee

Coated in the life blood of the city

Living in New York City

Living in New York City

I doubt in my life

I'm ever gonna see

Bums getting out

Or addicts getting clean

Living in New York City

Living in New York City
