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
