​new york, i love you but you’re bringing me down (live at madison square garden)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down ...I only get to pause an eternal amount once more, this is my last endless pause; Like a rat in a cage, pulling minimum wage (That's very dramatic, Nancy) New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down [Verse 2] New York, you're safer, but you're wasting my time Our records all show you were filthy but fine But the records all show when you opened the doors To the cops who were bored once they'd run out of crime [Verse 3] New York, you're perfect, oh, please don't change a thing Your mild billionaire mayor's now convinced he's a king And all the boring collect, I mean no disrespect In the neighborhood bars I'd once dreamt I would drink [Verse 4] New York, I love you, but you're freaking me out New York, I love you, but you're freaking me out Like a death in the hall that you hear through your wall New York, I love you, but you're freaking me out [Verse 5] 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, oh Jesus, where do I start? But you're still the one pool where I'd happily drown [Chorus 1] And, oh! Take me off your mailing list For kids who think it still exists Yes, for those who think it still exists Maybe you're right and maybe I'm wrong Maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong Maybe you're right, maybe you're right And just maybe you're wrong [Chorus 2] And, oh! Maybe mother told you true And there'll always be somebody 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 you're wrong and maybe I'm right And if so, here's this song New York, I love you But you're bringing me down New York, I love you But you're bringing me down
