God Damn New York Songtext
von The Dictators

Walkin down these dirty streets
Can′t avoid the sybaritic creeps
Now the oligarchs shop for bling
Where the junkies used to sing
They go

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I made my bones and never strayed
From the town where I was born and raised
Down the the canyons of steel and glass
I hear screams from the past

Sad to say, but I just don't care
How they cleaned up old times square
Whatever happened to my party boys?
We used to make some noise
We used to make some noise
Yeah


God Damn New York
You keep me up at night yeah
God Damn New York
We never got it right, yeah
Tech titans in limousines
A million lawyers a million schemes
I′m selling out I'm breakin free from
Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens

Every street looks the same
Cause every business is a chain
A devils bargain they can't sustain
Cause the hedge fund vultures, sell the remains

Money talks, ethics walk
Chinese billionaires own empty lofts
Politicians fall in line
Cause every fortune hides a crime

Someday a rain will come
And wash away all this scum
Whatever happened to my party boys?
We used to make some noise
We used to make some noise
God Damn New York
I loved you like a brother
God Damn New York
Someday we′ll recover


God Damn New York
God Damn New York
God Damn New York
God Damn New York
God Damn New York

Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens
