Contradiction defines New York City
Contradiction defines New York City,
The wild tentacles stretch further,
While civilized men are walking in frenzy.
Everything bears a shade of gray,
Yet in its heart lies a patch of green,
Contradiction defines New York City,
City cleaners are working crazy,
The smug trash is flying high,
While civilized men are walking in frenzy.
Time Square is flashing, striping atrocity,
The rich become heroes, the poor cracks,
Contradiction defines New York City,
How happy is it to be living in the city!
Tipsy chumps chant that out loud,
While civilized men are walking in frenzy.
Not a good place to be a gagger of lolly,
But it produces so many lollygaggers,
Contradiction defines New York City,
While civilized men are walking in frenzy.
