I can show you if you'd like to Walking down Madison I swear I never had a gun No I never shot no one Wouldn't do it just for fun Walking down Madison Trying to keep my head screwed on I was philosophising some Checking out the nuns When you get to the corner Don't look at those freaks Keep your head down low And stay quick on your feet, oh yeah The beaming boy from Harlem With the airforce coat The ones who died, the ones who tried The ones that sit and gloat From an uptown apartment To a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse To the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep On the church steps It's not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you'd like to Within every city and town there's a Madison Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening Hungry children is a mother's dilemma Dumpster diving to feed her baby Emma So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you The held out hand that you pay no respect to Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt Another wino dead, burnt to death in his quilt It's a cardboard city, newspaper metropolis The system can't cope or keep on top of this The authorities come as you're not for display Do they solve the problem, no, they move him away They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode The social won't pay 'em the money they're owed When you've got no money you can't pay rent Hypothermia kills 'cause the system is bent From an uptown apartment To a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse To the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park Oh no, it's not that far Hey bro, you wanna see some more? I can show you if you'd like to From an uptown apartment To a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse To the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep On the church steps It's not that far
