"New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" lyrics
(originally by LCD Soundsystem)
New York, I love you
But you're bringing me down
New York, I love you
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I love you
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't, please, don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I love you
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I love you
But you're freaking me out
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
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh, take me off your mailing list
For kids who think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
And oh...
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
Maybe I'm right
And if so, is this so?
But you're bringing me down
New York, I love you
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I love you
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't, please, don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I love you
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I love you
But you're freaking me out
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
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh, take me off your mailing list
For kids who think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
And oh...
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
Maybe I'm right
And if so, is this so?
