There is nothing new about New York

 There is nothing new about New York

Poor people struggle to pay rent

Millennials talk the talk and repeat

Nobody walks on subway puddles 

Stores out of business going going gone

Diners, music and bookstores gone

Corrupt government, high powered egos

Filthy Wall Street out of touch 

Freedom towers police state showers

Airport hours in unapproachable conduits

Homelessly oppressed sick of living

Needing assistance nothing giving

Yankee millions meeting Mets fanatics

With prices no one can afford 

Immigrant students yelling ESL please

Without relief from the wage thief

Live there by ignoring the grief.
