00:00 Everybody has some kind of jones here in New York City.

00:04 Everybody has something that they need to do in order to get through the day.

00:08 Broken glass everywhere, people pissing on the stage, you know they just don't care.

00:12 I can't take the smell, can't take the noise, got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice.

00:17 Rats in the front, rude roaches in the back, junkies in the alley with a baseball bat.

00:22 I tried to get away but I couldn't get far, 'cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car.

00:27 Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge, I'm trying not to lose my head.

00:36 It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

00:41 My brother's doing fast on my mother's TV, says she watches too much, it's just not healthy.

00:46 All my children in the daytime, Dallas at night, can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight.

00:51 The bill collectors, they ring my phone and scare my wife when I'm not home.
