Escape From New York

Yeah, back in the day, I swear I don't give a shit

It breaks their psyche to admit

That glorifying that place is a fucking joke

But I see through the smoke

No roots, just burned remains

In a glass case for display

Old guard, stand hard, it's a mockery

Masquerade, a lifelong charade

Cling to the legend of grime

When the only remaining crime

Is to the underdog that can't survive

Yeah, it was instilled for all to admire

But now my one desire

Is to escape this shithole empire that's built on posturing

No roots, just charred remains

Old heads embellish the stains

New guard, no heart, it's a mockery

Masquerade, a lifelong charade

Cling to the legend of grime

When the only remaining crime

Is to the underdog that can't survive

Genuflect, get down on your knees

Claim to worship these streets

Enjoy your pathetic fantasy

While I escape from New York

Genuflect, get down on your knees

Genuflect, get down on your knees

Claim to worship these streets

Worship these streets

Enjoy your pathetic fantasy

While I escape from New York

Time to break loose

The myth lives and breathes

The truth dies and bleeds

The myth lives and breathes

The truth dies and bleeds

The myth lives and breathes

The truth dies and bleeds

The myth lives and breathes

The truth dies and bleeds

Enjoy the fantasy, enjoy the pathetic fantasy

Enjoy the fantasy

Enjoy the fantasy

Enjoy the fantasy, enjoy the pathetic fantasy

Genuflect, get down on your knees

Claim to worship these streets

Enjoy the pathetic fantasy

Genuflect, get down on your knees

Claim to worship these streets

Enjoy your pathetic fantasy

I escape from New York
