[00:06.69] Things are different today, back in New York
[00:13.72] I lived down on Third Street Way back in the day
[00:20.52] There were junkies, pimps and whores, hallelujah
[00:27.46] Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to stay
[00:37.28]
[00:39.39] Hey!
[00:41.44]
[00:43.98] Things are different today, back in New York
[00:49.49] I lived down on Third Street Way back in the day
[00:55.24] There were junkies, pimps and whores, hallelujah
[01:00.87] Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to stay
[01:10.22] I remember well, the streets and all that smell
[01:15.97] Rats and roaches in my kitchen – oh fucking hell!
[01:21.63] Landlord at my door, always wanting more
[01:27.08] Local dealer kept the thugs away
[01:32.01] Hey!
[01:33.42]
[01:58.59] It was such a perfect mess, what they call the LES
[02:04.55] Life was art on every corner, but now there's so much less
[02:10.09] That's why I find talk is square, they ask me if I cared
[02:15.82] Gimmie back that apple in decay!
[02:21.12] Things are different today, back in New York
[02:26.67] I lived down on Third Street Way back in the day
[02:32.38] There were junkies, pimps and whores, hallelujah
[02:38.11] Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to stay
[02:43.93] Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to play
[02:49.70] Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to stay
[02:57.74]
[00:06.69] Things are different today, back in New York
[00:13.72] I lived down on Third Street Way back in the day
[00:20.52] There were junkies, pimps and whores, hallelujah
[00:27.46] Now it' s squeaky clean, there' s no place left to stay
