Hold On |
There’s blacks with knives and whites with clubs |
Fighting in Howard Beach |
There’s no such thing as human rights |
When you walk the N.Y.streets |
A cop was shot in the head by a 10 years old kid |
Named Buddah in Central Park last week |
The fathers and daughters are lined up by the coffins |
By the Statue of Bigotry, hey |
You better hold on |
Something’s happening here |
You better hold on |
Well, I meet you in Tompkins Square |
The dopers sent a message to the cops last weekend |
They shot him in the car where he sat |
And Eleanor Bumpers and Michael Stewart |
Must have appreciated that |
There’s a rampaging rage rising up like a plague |
Of bloody vials washing up on the beach |
It’ll take more than the Angels or Iron Mike Tyson |
To heal this bloody breach, hey, hey |
You better hold on |
Something’s happening here |
You better hold on |
I’m gonna meet you in Tompkins Square |
A junkie ran down a lady a pregnant dancer |
She’ll never dance but the baby was saved |
He shot up some China White and nodded out at the wheel |
And he doesn’t remember a thing |
They shot that old lady 'cause they thought she was a witness to |
A crime she didn’t even see |
Whose home is the home of the brave |
By the Statue of Bigotry, hey |
You better hold on |
Something’s happening here |
You better hold on |
Meet you in Tompkins Square |
You got a black .38 and a gravity knife |
You still have to ride the train |
There’s the smelly essence of N.Y. down there |
But you ain’t no Bernard Goetz, ah |
There’s no Mafia lawyer to fight in your corner |
For that 15 minutes of fame |
The have and the have nots are bleeding in the tub |
That’s New York’s future not mine, oh |
You better hold on |
Something’s happening here |
You better hold on |
You better, something’s happening here |
Hold on, ooohhh, babe |
