Graham Blvd - New York New York
New York New York big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
Too much too many people too much (aha-ha)
Too much too many people too much Raaah
A castle in the sky one mile high
Built to shelter the rich and greedy
Rows of eyes disguised as windows
Looking down on the poor and the needy
Miles of people marching up the avenue
Doin' what they gotta do just to get by
I'm living in the land of plenty and many
But I'm damn sure poor and I don't know why
Too much too many people too much
Too much too many people too much
A man's on a ledge says he's gonna jump
People gather round said won't he's just a chump
'Cause he lost his job then he got robbed
His mortgage is due and his marriage is through
He says he ain't gonna pay no child support
Because the b**ch left him without a second thought
He got nothing to eat no shoes on his feet
She even left his clothes out in the street
He keeps hearing noises when he's at home
He always hears voices when he's all alone
His wife took the kids the car and the crib
In this man's world so much for Women's Lib
New York New York big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
Down in the Village you might think I'm silly
But you can't tell the women from the men sometimes
They're sugar and spice and everything nice
But when you get 'em home ain't no telling what you find
Right next door is a little old man
I seen him eating dog food out of a can
He says got to eat when I can't afford meat
I barely can stand on my own two feet
I got a bad habit and I just can't break it
Something's on my mind and I just can't shake it
I need some time and I want some space
I gotta get away from the human race
Too much too many people too much (aha-ha)
Too much too many people too much Raaah
Staring at a skyscraper reaching into heaven
When over in the ghetto I'm livin in hell
Just play ball or be an entertainer
'Cause ni**az like me can't read too well
Nobody loves me nobody cares
I dreamed about a life but I'm livin in a nightmare
Paranoid schizo set back snowbound
Bad news psycho heart attack breakdown
Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh
Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh
Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh
Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee Huh Hee HUH
If only I could sleep just ten more minutes
I might find the strength to make another day
If I didn't have to get up and do my thing
I would probably sleep my whole life away
I messed up a nice dream somethin' bout ice cream
Whipped cream fruits and a cherry on top
Now I gotta get up and face the world huh
The pressure is on It ain't never gonna stop
I sho' gotta learn to use my mind
I don't wanna be kissing nobody's behind
Just standin' on line lookin' like a jerk
Gotta get off my butt and do a full day's work
I ran into a pothole got into a car crash
Should'a been thinking and tried to fake whiplash
A crowd gathered round they're callin' me fat
Who you lookin at with a face like that
New York New York big city of dreams
Everything in New York ain't always what it seems
