This is the finish, my friend, this is the end
It's a revolution, it's a civilian revenge
There's no need to move or adjust your television
Whenever an era dies, another era begins
These American fights, these American wars
These American stripes, these American stars
But these American cages have American bars
We hunger for truth, so we headed for y'all
Towers are crumbling, bridges are falling
Limits are fading, the normal is boring
Looking at time move progressively forward
Look at the days just, just vanish before me
You wanted a Benz but you couldn't afford it
Now you would kill to put your foot in a Taurus
It's different from the madness, and never look backwards
But this is a crisis, prepare for disaster
Start spreading the news (start, start, start, start spreading the news)
I'm leaving today (and I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone just like that)
I want to be a part of it (be, be, be, be, yeah)
New York, New York
New York
Breaker breaker 9, breaker breaker 1-9
Could you please get a operator on the phone line?
This is not a riot, it's way much more than that
These people are dying, we are under attack
Wait, let me call you back, let me get my strap
'Cause we ain't taking shit, so therefore we're fightin' back
We ain't waitin' on the line for a 9-1-1-9-9, whatever man
I ain't got time for all this nonsense, enemy responses
Ain't a dial tone in a home on the continent
Got me in these bandages, this jungle is up under me
Man I swear they sleeping, they unconscious, or they slumberin'
So we break the peace to get a piece of what we want to get
Act like we new to this, like we gon' rummage it
Let them know we run this shit
And let them know this how you feel the way your country is
Now look how beautiful destruction is (pah)
Start spreading the news (start spreading the news)
I'm leaving today (I'm leaving, I'm leaving, yeah)
I want to be a part of it (be a part of New York)
New York, New York (New York)
New York
