I'm sick and of my generation getting blamed For the state of the planet, I'm sick of my getting called TV generation', "Well all you guys do is watch TV" What did you expect? We lee harvey oswald get shot
Live on tv one Sunday morning, we were to change The channel for the next thirty years "This sucks", "Yeah, but somebody might get shot During the commercial, now on!
That's what's wrong with this country, we always shoot the wrong We shoot J F K, we R F K and it comes to teddy, we go "Ahh, leave him alone, he'll it up himself, no problem, you know" Biggest target in the whole goddamn Kennedy
Nobody a shot on me, he weighs about seven thousand pounds You could a bullet in Los Angeles and hit him in the ass in Boston Five later, he'd be standing on the lawn At the compound going, "Ah There's a bullet in my ass, ah"
Ted kennedy, good senator, but a bad You know I'm saying, folks? One of those guys who gets home At four o'clock in the and goes, "What did I forget? Oh! The fucking girl! the matter with me? Jesus, where are my pants? shit!
Because I'll tell you folks, we got a real problem guns In this country, we have snapping Almost twice, three, four, five a year, right? People snap, they can't take it anymore, they just snap
They go into and kill fifteen people I mean what the fuck is going on down at the post six months some guy gets fired, comes back And kills all his
If I at the post office as a supervisor I wouldn't lay anybody off for the next fucking years I'd walk around going, "Hanrahan, what're you doing?" "Nothing" "Well, keep it up, you're doing a job! Jesus, I'll tell ya"
And I am sick and tired for New York city the blame In this country for the problem, you know Whenever you read a fact chart, it always says leads the world In and murder and everything else, but New York takes the blame
"New york's a cess pool, it's a cess pool of and crime We're moving", "Hey! I moved here four years ago And I'm not leaving, because this is the most place In the to live"
Oh yeah! Yeah! There are so many ways to die in New York on! Race riots, drive by shootings, subway crashes Construction cranes collapsing on the Manhole covers blowing up, asbestos shooting the sky
We had a subway crash here a couple of ago people died, the next day they found the driver was drunk And hooked on crack, folks, makes Disneyland like a fucking bike ride, doesn't it?
"Your drive today is Edward, drunk and hooked on crack The man sitting next to you has a nine-millimeter luck, folks!", "Honey, get the camera!" This is gonna be great!"
Yeah, I love living in New York, man and people who live in New We wear that fact a badge right on our sleeve because we know That fact everybody! "I was in vietnam" "So what? I in New York!", "Really?
Yeah, 'cause New York teaches you to life the way It should be lived, to moment, yes Because every moment in New York could be your Oh yeah,
You could be down the street tomorrow Feeling good yourself, drink free, drug free Looking to the future And somebody accidently nudges poodle off of a 75th floor ledge
Doink! And he's for the ground At a and seventy five thousand miles per hour And curchunk impeded in your head! You're dead on contact The headline in the the next day reads, "Man killed by best friend"
cut the article out and they laugh about it at the office And you're remembered as the poodle man! "I the poodle man and he hated fucking poodles"
New york teaches you to live life to moment And street by and beat to beat Because all played that street ot street game in New York Haven't we? Yes we have, block, bad block, good block, bad block Gun block, crack block, asbestos block, block! Poodle block
'Cause people think, "Life sucks, and then you die" I disagree, I think life sucks, then you get Then you go into chemotherapy and you lose all hair You feel bad about yourself, then all of the The goes into remission
You look good, you feel good, going great And all of the you have a stroke, you can't move your right side And one day you step off the curb at 68th by center and bang You get hit by a bus and then, maybe, you die
Because I think Jim Hensen said it best when he "Anybody got any aspirin? I I got a cold" And a filled the room, we all have this incredible attachment To the muppets, don't we? "We the muppets! They're so cute!"
Did you hear about Jim Hensen's funeral? Here in New York city, Kermit the frog and big bird sang "It's not being green" At Jim Hensen's funeral, if I'm fifty-six old I kick the bucket and a fucking sock is singing at my funeral
I'm pop out of the coffin and go "Hey! What the is this about? Sammy Davis Jr. gets Frank Sinatra And I get a sock? I'm pissed off now!
