Speakeasy Songtext
von The So So Glos

(And if we make it there, we′ll make it everywhere)
(It's up to you, New York, New York)
(New York)

Hey, could ya do me a favor?
Quit calling up from an anonymous place
There was a corner bodega we used to hit up
You would say it to my face
But those days done gone
Now all you can do is hide behind a screen
Inside a coffee shop
Another cyber cop shot dead on the spot now


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Speakin′ it easy in the N.N.Y.C.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna hear it from N.Y.P.D.
Because it's never been such a crime to be free
Speak easy
Speak easy

I told him stay away
He couldn′t hear what I was trying to say
Who is this dude from L.A.?
He′s gonna kill us all
Roll out the super-mall
He's got a thousand ways to talk
But he got no voice at all

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Speaking it easy in the N.N.Y.C.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If you got what it takes to speak easy then you know
So it′s undeniably so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


I'm gonna hear it from the kids in 2-D
Because everybody′s lost in the gleam
But it's like nobody is talking to me
When my brains blown out
Maybe then they′ll learn to speak easy
I guess we're gonna have to wait and see

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Speaking it easy in the N.N.Y.C.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna hear it from the N.Y.P.D.

I say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
They′re gonna stick me in a box down a stream
Here they come, let them come
Come on, come on everyone
New N.Y.C. is where you′ll find me doing time in custody
It's never been such a crime to be free

Speak easy
Speak easy, ha-ha-ha
Speak easy
