Many days Many days have come and gone Since we all believed The air was ours to breathe Many times In the networks of our lives We've been deceived By those who lead Can't you see Can't you see This can't go on forever This can't go on Down in New York Down in New York Down in New York town What's the cost if another truth is lost Inside a scheme designed to sell a dream A baby's cryin' and New York City's dyin' But does God know I though he ran this show Don't you know don't you know This can't go on down in New York
