Cat Stevens New York Times Lyrics

New York poor New York
New York poor New York

Cars choking your child to death
but you don't wanna see
cause you only think about yourself
how blind can you be.

New York poor New York
sniper on the rooftop New York.
New York poor New York
not fit for a dog in New York.

Everybody bites on the Big Apple
leave the hungry in tears,
but no one gives a d___ no one really cares
how they feel they're just paper people not real.

You need a gun to walk into New York.

Now you're broke and you're out on a ledge
who can help you this time.
Now you're down to your very last cent
still you're askin' me who was your friend.
I was your friend.

New York poor New York
who turned the lights out in New York.

New York poor New York
just another blackout in New York.
Girl dead on the 26th floor
but no one knew her name.
Found her body behind the door
too young for the game.

New York poor New York
devils in the subway New York.
New York poor New York.
New York poor New York.
Talkin talkin talkin - watch out.
Harlem touching midtown New York.
New York poor New York.

Talkin 'bout New York, New York.
Money's getting tighter New York,
they're burning the bridges to New York.
