New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down

New York, I love you

But you're bringing me down

New York, I love you

But you're bringing me downLike a rat in a cage

Pulling minimum wage

New York, I love you

But you're bringing me downNew York, you're safer

And you're wasting my time

Our records all show

You are filthy but fineBut they shuttered your stores

When you opened the doors

To the cops who were bored

Once they'd run out of crimeNew York, you're perfect

Don't please don't change a thing

Your mild billionaire mayor's

Now convinced he's a kingAnd so the boring collect

I mean all disrespect

In the neighborhood bars

I'd once dreamt I would drinkNew York, I love you

But you're freaking me out

There's a ton of the twist

But we're fresh out of shoutLike a death in the hall

That you hear through your wall

New York, I love you

But you're freaking me outNew York, I love you

But you're bringing me down

New York, I love you

But you're bringing me downLike a death of the heart

Jesus, where do I start?

But you're still the one pool

Where I'd happily drownAnd oh

Take me off your mailing list

For kids who think it still exists

Yes, for those who think it still existsMaybe I'm wrong

And maybe you're right

Maybe I'm wrong

And maybe you're rightMaybe you're right

Maybe I'm wrong

And just maybe you're rightAnd oh

Maybe mother told you true

And there'll always be something there for you

And you'll never be aloneBut maybe she's wrong

Maybe I'm right

And just maybe she's wrongMaybe she's wrong

And maybe I'm right

And if so, is there

If so
