[Intro]
|
[Jorma:] Ladies and Gentleman, the Mayor of New York.
|
|
[Andy:]
|
Good morning. It's been brought to my attention that many rap artist claim that they run New York, but this is not the case.
|
In fact, I wrote my own song about what it's really like.
|
Please excuse the profanity in advance.
|
|
Hit it.
|
|
ALRIGHT, NEW YORK!
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Billie Joe Armstrong:]
|
New York, big city of dreams, and you know that I run this town. (I RUN IT!)
|
The king of the streets, dressed in concrete, skyscrapers on my crown! (I'M THE KING!)
|
So if you want this Big Apple, come try to take a bite! (C'MON!)
|
'Cause I run this motherfucking city and I won't give it up without a fight!
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
[Andy:]
|
Yo, I run New York!
|
It's a pain in the ass!
|
The city's crowded as fuck,
|
And it's covered in trash!
|
|
And the sanitation chief just shoved his shit in my face;
|
Another transit strike? Aw, fucking great!
|
|
I can't wait
|
To have another meeting with the labor union
|
So the mob can bend me over
|
And then shove their fucking shoe in.
|
|
So I do it
|
so you can sip your pumpkin latte.
|
I literally run New York and it's exhausting!
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Billie Joe Armstrong:]
|
I run New York
|
It's a fucking headache
|
It really wears you down! (IT SUCKS!)
|
|
In this lake of bureaucratic bullshit,
|
It's a miracle I don't drown!
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
[Andy:]
|
I (double) literally run New York:
|
I run the marathon.
|
Plus I organized it,
|
So I double-run the marathon!
|
|
But no one seems to give a fuck that I'm a paragon.
|
Instead they photoshop me so
|
It's looking like I wear a thong,
|
And laugh at it in my own office when I'm gone.
|
|
I went to the Knicks game, and
|
They booed me on the jumbotron!
|
|
Excuse me
|
for trying to help you;
|
They won't be satisfied until I'm
|
Locked up in Bellevue.
|
|
I guess they don't tell you
|
This job sucks dick.
|
I run New York and it feels like SHIT!!
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Billie Joe Armstrong:]
|
The Chief of Police is a major bully,
|
He laughs at my ideas. (HE'S A JERK!)
|
|
He made fun of my tie last week
|
And I had to fight back tears!
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
[Andy:]
|
Now on the surface, it probably seems like I should quit
|
Cause I spend every day getting punched in the dick.
|
|
But at night
|
I travel down into the subway,
|
Wearing chainmail, locked and loaded for gunplay,
|
|
And battle the gigantic fire-breathing mutant rats!
|
If I fucking quit, who the fuck would do that?!
|
|
I'll give you a hint:
|
The answer is no one.
|
That's why I'm in the sewer dressed up like a shogun.
|
Because on the equinox, a Hell Gate springs,
|
Releasing hounds wreathed in the blood of kings.
|
|
And no one even knows!
|
They just think I'm a dork.
|
But I still kill those fucking dogs, because
|
I RUN NEW YORK!!
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Billie Joe Armstrong:]
|
I run New York, it's a shitty gig;
|
There's no overtime in my pay. (BULLSHIT!)
|
I asked this city for a fucking bonus,
|
And they said "no fucking way!" (UNREAL!)
|
|
So rotten is this Big Apple,
|
It's crawling with worms inside! (COME ON!)
|
But I run this motherfucking shithole city,
|
And it makes me wanna die!
|
|
[Andy:] I RUN NEW YORK!
|
|
Thank you.
