Walk into a room with trolls and an elf
While Henry Miller hangs out on the shelf
And it seems like they walked
Stepping back into time
Before things got so fucked
And singing songs was a crime
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
When they killed rent controlled
And John Lennon too
'Cause stockbrokers need space
Like a dog needs to drool
And they cleaned up Times Square
Now it's all good clean fun
No more junkies and whores
Every poet's on the run
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
Some get all they want
Some don't get what they need
Monuments to their power
Edifice to their greed
The ballpark in the Bronx
But not enough for the schools
I guess you're taking the bus
I guess they're taking you for a fool
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
Sing a song for the doomed
Need the steeples of sin
You can't live in the past
You forget where you've been
For to hide an old song
But it was time to go home
Was it all in my head
Mr. Joey Ramone
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side
