Текст песни
Walking down these dirty streets
Can't avoid the sybaritic creeps
Now the old dogs 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 canyons of steel and glass
I hear screams from the past
Sad to say it 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
Goddamn New York
You keep me up at night, yeah
Goddamn New York
We never got it right, yeah
Tech titans in limousines
A million lawyers, a million schemes
I'm selling out, I'm breaking free
From Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens
Every street looks the same
'Cause every business is a chain
A devil's bargain they can't sustain
'Cause the hedge fund vultures sell the remains
Money talks, ethics walk
Chinese billionaires own empty lots
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, yeah
Goddamn New York
I love you like a brother
Goddamn New York
Someday we'll recover
Goddamn New York (Goddamn New York)
Goddamn New York (Goddamn New York)
Goddamn New York
Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens
