New York will never be mine
New York will never be yours
So let’s quit wasting our time
Pack up and move on a dime
New York will never be mine
New York will never be real
New York lies and it steals
So if that’s how you feel
It’s your right to appeal
New York will never be real
So cry if you wanna
Lie if you gotta
Just get out while there’s still time
I know there’s kings and there’s queens
But they’re all yesterdays dreams
Now it’s all Goldman and Sachs
JPMorgan and rats
Preying on us furry frisbees
And then there’s Staten Island,
I’d rather cut off my hand
Too many bloodthirsty cops
Loitering outside of shops
They’ll kill you and lie on the stand
This land is your land
This land is my land
Until the rent gets
Just too damn high man
Another Whole Foods
But we’re still hungry
This lands not made for you and me
And I don’t want to live in a city that never sleeps
I don’t feel brand new when I’m walking these streets
Not really inspired
Just tired
New York will always be there
New York will always not care
And If you make it there
You won’t make it anywhere
Because you’re literally trapped
