Anonymous In New York

I got a stiff neck from all this bowing down

I wasn't made to be kissing the ground you pricks are parading on

And from this lowly point of view

The cracks in the pavement look like

Canyons I wish you'd all fall into

I holed up in a down south fourth and dreams

Doors down from where my hero drowned in his black spring

A century on, the words still ring true

No saint ever set foot on Myrtle Avenue

Why the face? Give us a smile

What did you expect from the city that loves no one?

On my own, far from being alone

I find myself anonymous in New York

I got a stiff neck from looking up to you

Seeing through the worn out monologues and the counterfeit views

I wanna know who do you become without your

Audience or chorus line kicking along?

On the rooftop having no fun

In the bellows of the city that loves no one

Crushed by the crowd, unaccounted for

Surrounded, anonymous in New York

They pour out like ants through a crack in the wall

Starved for attention, eating their young

I might just stay a while, stay a while, stay a while

I wanna be ignored, be ignored, be ignored

I wanna be anonymous in New York
