Avenue A Lyrics

 

Avenue A - The Dictators

Written by:Shernoff

Benny got a new tattoo

 

Down at the st mark's zoo

 

He walked down to the park

 

Drinking 40's till it's dark

 

Talking to a Grey haired man

 

In a tie dyed shirt and ragged pants

He said

That's where the hippies used to play

 

Down on avenue a

 

Susie got a new pair of shoes

 

Now she don't know what to do

 

So she's sitting in the park

 

Smoking pot till it's dark

 

Talking to a toothless man

 

With spiky hair

And leather pants

 

He said

I knew strive in the day

 

And that's where the junkies used to play

 

Down on avenue a

 

When every memory is gone

 

And everything you know is wrong

 

Taking the edge off on a beautiful day

 

With a frappacino and a crée brulee

 

Yeah it's all over when you see a range rover

 

And to my bodega I say hasta luega

 

It's not what you do it's what you say

 

And it's not who you know it's who you pay

 

 

Down on avenue a
