Ballad Of The Lower East Side (Remaster) (Live) - Michael Monroe
Written by：Steve Conte
Things are different today
Back in New York
I lived down on third street way back in the day
There were junkies pimps and whores hallelujah
Now it's squeaky clean
There's no place left to stay
Hey
Things are different today
Back in New York
I lived down on third street way back in the day
There were junkies pimps and whores
Hallelujah
Now it's squeaky clean
There's no place left to stay
I remember well the streets and all that smell
Rats and roaches in my kitchen
Oh f**king hell
Landlord at my door always wanting more
Local dealer kept the thugs away
Hey go
It was such a perfect mess
What they call the LES
Life was art on every corner
But now there's so much less
That's why I find talk is square
They ask me if I cared
Gimmie back that apple in decay
Let's go
Things are different today
Back in New York
I lived down on third street way back in the day
There were junkies pimps and whores hallelujah
Now it's squeaky clean there's no place left to stay
Now it's squeaky clean there's no place left to play
Now it's squeaky clean there's no place left to stay
