Trash Boy - Fuck New York Lyrics

My father and his father and his father and his father
All lived in new york

Then one day they left the town
And out in jersey settled down
Just came in for work

That's when the city starts to change
Some neighborhoods look strange
No one lives there cause everyone wants to

So we see empty apartment blocks
For billionaires with yachts
Laughing while the city's told not to watch

All these kids at NYU
Can't pay the rent but don't need to
Their parents cough it up

Ten thousand more apartment dorms
Ten thousand service workers on
A three hour commute

The city never sleeps
But damn i'm feeling beat
I can't find a bench to lay my head

I guess i'll move to philly
Even though the pizza's shitty
F*ck up somebody else's neighborhood

And i say
F*ck new york
Goodbye new uork
Guess i never loved you anyway

And i say
F*ck new york
Goodbye new york
Thanks for telling me that all my dreams
My dreams wouldn't pay

Yeah i know i'm no new yorker
Cause i'm jersey born and raised
But i can smell that salty bagel a mile away

Yeah i cross the verrazano
Half a paycheck at a time
Till those pearly gates await me then i'll know

That i'll say f*ck new york
Goodbye new york
Guess i never loved you anyway

And i say
F*ck new york
Goodbye new york
Thanks for telling me that all my dreams
My dreams wouldn't pay
