New York Breakdown
Brutality
on the streets of New York
Betrayal of
the public trust
The
shining beacon on an island
Has gone
from boom to bust
New York
we love you
But you’re
beating us down *
The city
of enlightenment
City of
dreams now broken
And
scattered into a million
Little
pieces on bloodied ground
When the
pandemic smashed into you
Like the
first wave of a tsunami
We turned
to you in admiration
We looked
to you for salvation
We held
you up for inspiration
We felt
for you and prayed
Now you
revert to political form
And blame
the beaten
For being
bruised
New York
we love you
But you
will be forsaken
After centuries
of injustice
It’s time
to awaken
[* LCD Soundsystem:
New York,
I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down]
