West Side Highway

there's a million jews in new york
and I'm one of them
there's a million stars in the sky
and a million cars on the west side highway

back at home,I didn't feel this free
up and down the boulevard I could hear them scream
hey faggot! how much?
I'm gonna kick your ass motherfucker!
but I held my head up high
let them suffocate and die
in their ordinary lives

there's two hundered punks in the park
and I'm one of them
there's a place to go
after all these years of feeling alone
back at home walking down the street
people pull their kids aside
like I was some kind of disease
but as much as I tried to hide
and plug my ears it hurt inside
it curled up and wounded my pride

there's a million jews in new york
and I'm one of them
there's a million stars in the sky
and a million cars on the west side highway

as I ride, I can feel the street
like a river it flows rapidly
througn the city it propels
me towards a tragic bloody crash oh well
an inch from death seems to be
the only place to find some peace
the only place to ride a bike
feel alive and find a sense of pride
and dignity
