New York

Everybody thinks they know it all But they don't know how to play the game They try to lose your head in stupid things But I am done being the chain Where's my jet plane Can I hide away for the rest of the night I am over these city lights Want some smooth jazz to ease your mind You're in the right place for a solo life Cuz Not everything comes easy This is the story of my life Work hard for better days Love the Earth for dear Lord's praise This is New York, longer days await Try one thing, try it twice Fail again because no one is listening Must have missed my calling And it ain't fair sometimes, you see The boy over there is using somebody To get to where he's got to go But not everything comes easy This is the story of my life Work hard for better days Love the Earth for dear Lord's praise This is New York, longer days await This is New York, longer days await There's a bottom, there's a top No in between for the reckless bunch There's a bottom, there's a top Tough love just don't ever give up Don't give up
