Lyrics

Don’t blame New York for your aching back
No one promised you you’d stay in tact
Don’t blame New York if your soul is dead
You don’t go out
You don’t leave your bed
Don’t blame New York for the friends you’ve lost
There’s the life you chose
And they’re what it cost
 
This city doesn’t care how hard you try
Or what gets lost in getting by
 
This city is on to something new
And it’s you
Who needs to keep up with it
This town has a million things to do
And 8,550,404 other motherfuckin people to think about
 
Don’t blame New York for your dreams that died
Don’t blame New York when you’re too tired to try
Don’t blame New York for how much you eat
Don’t blame New York when you cry in the street
Don’t blame New York for the places you grieve
Don’t blame New York if you need to leave
 
This city doesn’t care how hard you pray
It does sometimes
But not today
 
This city is on to someone new
And it’s you
Who needs to get over it
This town has a million things to do
And 8,550,404 other motherfuckin people to think about
 
8,550,404 other motherfuckin people to think about
