New York

Through Washington Square, past the pushers and freaks

Down to Bleeker Bob 's, where the gang all meets

Passed the trendy shops on Broadway

We make our to the Bowery

Hang out in front of C.B. 's and drink a few beers

And hassle those who 've got the nerve to stare

A few bottles thrown and everybody knows

That we 've gotta go before the pigs all show

CHORUS

This is New York City, where the kids rule the streets

New York City 's where we wanna be

We always find a show where we can cause trouble

With trendy college kids and Neanderthal bouncers

On the city streets, that 's where we get our kicks

Even when it comes down to bottles and bricks

Waiting for the weekend all week long

Waiting for your worries and stress to be gone

There 's always someone out to ruin your fun

Like the boys in blue and the hoods with guns

CHORUS

When they know we 're coming the shows are over-priced

The beers they serve are piss cup size

Record stores in the Village are just the same

They won 't carry our music unless it 's priced insane

In a city so big, in a city so diverse

Everybody here wants a big fat purse

We 'll still have fun, we 'll still have our beer

As you come and go, we 'll still be here

CHORUS
