Smoking marijuana Watching channel five Got to get my strength up In this struggle to survive Everyone's an asshole Everyone's a creep I look out my window And there's garbage in the streets I live in the city I breathe dirty air I ride trains with be -boys Junkies, queens and squares Everybody's hungry I don't know what to do I used to live on pizza Now I live on Chinese food I can't stand my neighbors Screaming all the time If I wasn't blasting Sister ray I could lose my mind I live in the city I breathe dirty air I ride trains with be -boys Junkies, queens and squares Safely someone's smiling The fat man waits his turn Soon he'll count his money While the south Bronx slowly burns Get out for the children Get your ass and run Get out of this stinkin mess To a safe suburban slum I live in the city I breathe dirty air I ride trains with be -boys Junkies, queens and squares
