BAWDY.

I am the city, not the suburbs, I am vast and I am gritty

Watch me hustle, watch me bustle, see me flex my union muscle

Wander through my urban jungle, concrete beats, and ethnic jumble

See me shine, see me stumble

Watch me fall, watch me crumble

Come and burst my housing bubble

Watch me level, watch me rise

I fill and empty like the tide

Don’t sell me pity, light me up, the electric-city i become

See me severed, see me sprawl

Watch my traffic start and stall

I am the city, always busy

Lost among me, lost within me

My loud concord got you dizzy

Head feel light, brain feel fizzy

See my ships, see my trains

Back and forth

All damn day

press rewind, then press play

But I wont stop

Just all ways change

Don’t sell me pity, light me up, the electric-city i become

I am the city of tomorrow,

Live inside me, pick a burrough  

Just mind the crime though

Because there is no Batman, or even Zorro

Listen to me late at night

From in the basement, or great heights

The streets are empty, see the sights

I am the city

Great dysfunction

Referendum, sign petition

Reelecting politicians, off the record its corruption

See them cut new shit deals

Try and ease housewives fears

Watch them squirm, watch them lie

See me forced to gentrify, see my tax base slowly rise

Huddled masses forced outside

Cant pay rent, cause rents too high

doooooo itttttttt.
