What Ever Happened to Old New York?!!

Nostalgic for a time when things sucked much less I look around the city I grew up in-everything's gone; there's nothing left From the clubs: Wetlands, CB's To Coney Island and trains with graffiti The Ritz, L'Amour: they all closed their doors And the music we lived for died out some more The L.E.S., the Willy-B No more artists and minorities-just pricey boutiques Hell's Kitchen, Times Square: I wanna shoot fuckin' tourists every time I gotta walk through there What made New York cool is barely recognizable The landscape's been rearranged; the difference is sizable The crime rate's down too much-everything's lamer How many times ya gonna bust me for open container? It's become a safe haven for the rich and trendy What we need's a return to the murder rate of 1990 What ever happened to Old New York?
