New York, I Love You 
But you're bringing me down 

New York, I Love You 
But you're bringing me down 

Like a rat in a cage 
Pulling minimum wage 

New York, I Love You 
But you're bringing me down 

New York, you're safer 
And you're wasting my time 

Our records all show 
You are filthy but fine 

But they shuttered your stores 
When you opened the doors 
To the cops who were bored 
Once they'd run out of crime 

New York, you're perfect 
Don't please don't change a thing 

Your mild billionaire mayor's 
Now convinced he's a king 

So the boring collect 
I mean all disrespect 

In the neighborhood bars 
I'd once dreamt I would drink 

New York, I Love You 
But you're freaking me out 

There's a ton of the twist 
But we're fresh out of shout 

Like a death in the hall 
That you hear through your wall 

New York, I Love You 
But you're freaking me out 

New York, I Love You 
But you're bringing me down 

New York, I Love You 
But you're bringing me down 

Like a death of the heart 
Jesus, where do I start? 

But you're still the one pool 
Where I'd happily drown 

And oh.. Take me off your mailing list 
For kids that think it still exists 
Yes, for those who think it still exists 

Maybe I'm wrong 
And maybe you're right 
Maybe I'm wrong 
And myabe you're right 

Maybe you're right 
Maybe I'm wrong 
And just maybe you're right 

And Oh.. 
Maybe mother told you true 
And they're always be something there for you 
And you'll never be alone 

But maybe she's wrong 
And maybe I'm right 
And just maybe she's wrong 

Maybe she's wrong 
And maybe I'm right 
And if so, is there?
