Dirty Blvd.

[00:16.10] Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
[00:19.08] He looks out a window without glass
[00:23.46] And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
[00:26.58] And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg
[00:30.74] He's got 9 brothers and sisters
[00:33.28] They're brought up on their knees
[00:34.52] It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
[00:38.65] Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
[00:42.26] But that's a slim chance
[00:43.81] He's going to the boulevard
[00:46.25] He's gonna end up on the dirty boulevard
[00:50.05] He's going out to the dirty boulevard
[00:54.03] He's going down to the dirty boulevard
[00:59.36]
[01:02.38] This room cost $2, 000 a month
[01:04.24] You can believe it, man, it's true
[01:05.69] Somewhere there's a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
[01:09.53] No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
[01:13.54] They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
[01:17.38] Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em
[01:21.35] That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
[01:25.73] Your poor huddled masses
[01:27.03] Let's club 'em to death
[01:28.58] And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
[01:33.25] Get 'em out on the dirty boulevard
[01:36.95] Goin' out to the dirty boulevard
[01:40.87] They're going down on the dirty boulevard
[01:44.72] Goin' out
[01:47.47]
[01:49.51] Outside it's a bright night
[01:50.81] There's an opera at Lincoln Center
[01:52.94] Movie stars arrive by limousine
[01:56.86] The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
[02:00.32] But the lights are out on the mean streets
[02:04.12] A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
[02:07.63] He's selling plastic roses for a buck
[02:11.91] The traffic's backed up to 39th Street
[02:15.87] The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck
[02:19.82] And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
[02:23.53] He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can
[02:27.53] He looks at the pictures
[02:28.88] And stares up at the cracked ceiling
[02:31.45] At the count of 3,he says
[02:32.80] I hope I can disappear
[02:34.84] And fly, fly away from this dirty boulevard
[02:39.09] I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:42.97] I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:46.88] I want to fly-fly-fly-fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:50.58] I want to fly away
[02:54.30] I want to fly
[02:58.13] Fly, fly away
[03:02.27] I want to fly
[03:05.45]
[03:07.56] Fly, fly away
[03:11.46] Fly, fly away
[03:14.01] Fly, fly away
[03:15.24] Fly, fly away
[03:19.72] I want to fly
[03:21.63]
