Many days

Many days have come and gone

Since we all believed

The air was ours to breathe



Many times

In the networks of our lives

We've been deceived

By those who lead

Can't you see

Can't you see

This can't go on forever

This can't go on

Down in New York

Down in New York

Down in New York town



What's the cost if another truth is lost

Inside a scheme designed to sell a dream

A baby's cryin' and New York City's dyin'

But does God know I though he ran this show

Don't you know don't you know

This can't go on down in New York
