F**k New York

My father and his father and his father and his father All lived in new york Then one day they left the town And out in jersey settled down Just came in for work That's when the city starts to change Some neighborhoods look strange No one lives there cause everyone wants to So we see empty apartment blocks For billionaires with yachts Laughing while the city's told not to watch All these kids at NYU Can't pay the rent but don't need to Their parents cough it up Ten thousand more apartment dorms Ten thousand service workers on A three hour commute The city never sleeps But damn i'm feeling beat I can't find a bench to lay my head I guess i'll move to philly Even though the pizza's shitty Fuck up somebody else's neighborhood And i say Fuck new york Goodbye new uork Guess i never loved you anyway And i say Fuck new york Goodbye new york Thanks for telling me that all my dreams My dreams wouldn't pay Yeah i know i'm no new yorker Cause i'm jersey born and raised But i can smell that salty bagel a mile away Yeah i cross the verrazano Half a paycheck at a time Till those pearly gates await me then i'll know That i'll say fuck new york Goodbye new york Guess i never loved you anyway And i say Fuck new york Goodbye new york Thanks for telling me that all my dreams My dreams wouldn't pay
