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 hundred 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 pulled 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 Through 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 and Feel alive and find a sense of pride And dignity
