[Verse 1]
Heard New York was paved with gold [?]
Is there some'in' wrong with your constitution?
The bliss comes after the noise pollution
If you try silence us you'll get a bootin'

[Chorus 1]
New York is rotten now
We light a match and we burn it down
The devil smiles as he takes a bow
And takes your soul

[Verse 2]
Yeah the war was fun, just while it lasted
Went to find the vehicle, we all got shafted
60, 000 [?] our boys, they got blasted
One million fish fried, the devil's laughing

[Chorus 2]
New York is rotten now
Light a match and we'll burn it down
Well Uncle Sam smiles and takes a bow
And he takes your soul

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
[?] tricky dick, [?] find himself in the knick
With his [?]
I'm [?] take a break
Jumped up and he's looking fake
What's real here's a prison state
[?] today

[Chorus 1]
New York is rotten now
We light a match and we burn it down
The devil smiles as he takes a bow
And takes your souls
