New York City The money sucked it dry
Pull the culture from out the streets
It's all so gentrified
Alphabet city or down on 42nd street
Or the Lower East Side
There was violence in the streets
The greatest city of them all But it just don't feel the same
I miss the old New York
The tallest buildings in the world But it just don't look the same
I miss the old New York
The Bowery slums Turned into fashion boutiques
Where's all the gangs
Drug dealers and the freaks
The Big Apple has lost its taste 10 million people
trying just to survive
This fucking urban waste
The greatest city of them all But it just don't feel the same
I miss the old New York
The tallest buildings in the world But it just don't look the same
I miss the old New York
BREAK: (I'm not sure if this bit is correct any help please?)
The old graffiti trains Can't see out the window
Gotta watch your back Or you might get jacked
The greatest city of them all But it just don't feel the same
I miss the old New York
The tallest buildings in the world But it just don't look the same
I miss the old New York
