Dirty Blvd.

[00:15.96] Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
[00:18.95] He looks out a window without glass
[00:23.03] And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
[00:26.54] And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg
[00:30.40] He's got 9 brothers and sisters
[00:32.58] They're brought up on their knees
[00:34.44] It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
[00:38.49] Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
[00:42.23] But that's a slim chance
[00:43.98] He's going to the boulevard
[00:46.11] He's gonna end up on the dirty boulevard
[00:49.96] He's going out to the dirty boulevard
[00:53.75] He's going down to the dirty boulevard
[00:59.16]
[01:02.16] This room cost $2, 000 a month
[01:04.32] You can believe it, man, it's true
[01:05.85] Somewhere there's a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
[01:09.43] No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
[01:13.12] They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
[01:17.35] Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em
[01:21.10] That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
[01:25.60] Your poor huddled masses
[01:26.91] Let's club 'em to death
[01:28.52] And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
[01:32.93] Get 'em out on the dirty boulevard
[01:36.79] Goin' out to the dirty boulevard
[01:40.68] They're going down on the dirty boulevard
[01:44.67] Goin' out
[01:49.45] Outside it's a bright night
[01:50.80] There's an opera at Lincoln Center
[01:52.73] Movie stars arrive by limousine
[01:56.34] The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
[02:00.26] But the lights are out on the mean streets
[02:04.29] A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
[02:08.08] He's selling plastic roses for a buck
[02:12.00] The traffic's backed up to 39th Street
[02:15.89] The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck
[02:19.76] And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
[02:23.64] He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can
[02:27.69] He looks at the pictures
[02:29.09] And stares up at the cracked ceiling
[02:31.43] At the count of 3,he says
[02:32.80] I hope I can disappear
[02:34.56] And fly, fly away from this dirty boulevard
[02:38.59] I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:42.67] I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:46.69] I want to fly-fly-fly-fly from the dirty boulevard
[02:50.64] I want to fly away
[02:54.10] I want to fly
[02:58.01] Fly, fly away
[03:02.09] I want to fly
[03:05.81] Fly, fly away
[03:08.82] Fly, fly away
[03:12.10] Fly, fly away
[03:16.13] Fly, fly away
[03:19.45] I want to fly
[03:21.35]
