Things are different today back in New York.
I lived down on third street way back in that day.
There were junkies, pimps and s. Hallelujah!

VERSE 1:
I remember well the streets an all that smell.
Rats and roaches in my kitchen -- oh in hell!
Landlord at my door, always wanting more.
Local dealer kept the thugs away! (Hey, go!)

VERSE 2:
It was such a perfect mess, what they call the L.E.S.
Life was art on every corner, but now there is so much less.
There s Wi-Fi in Tompkins Square but ask me if a care.
Gimme back that Apple In Decay! (Let s go!)
CHORUS:

I lived down on third street way back in that day.
There were junkies, pimps and s. Hallelujah!
Now it s squeaky clean, there s no place left to stay.
Now it s squeaky clean, there s no place left to play.
Now it s squeaky clean, there s no place left to stay.
