SHOW YOUR COUNTRY THAT YOU REALLY CARE
YOU GOTTA GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE
THIS IS WHERE YOU’VE GOT TO BE
WE’RE GONNA TAKE OUR STAND IN NYC
COME BY VAN, COME BY RAIL
MAYOR MIKE CAN’T THROW US ALL IN JAIL
BUSH AND CHENEY COMIN AND IT’S ABOUT TIME
CAUSE THE CRIMINALS RETURN TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
THEY WANTED TO BE HERE FOR 911
WE’RE GONNA LET EM KNOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT THEY’VE DONE
COME ON FOOT, COME BY BUS
THERE AIN’T A HELL OF A LOT THEY CAN DO TO US
YOU’RE NOT TOO OLD TO GIVE THEM A PIECE OF YOUR MIND
NO ONE’S TOO YOUNG TO BE LEFT BEHIND
IF YOU GET TO NEW YORK WE’RE GONNA HAND YOU THE KEY
CAUSE IT’S NUMBERS THAT COUNT IN DEMOCRACY
YOU CAN HIKE, YOU CAN TAKE A PLANE
COME WITH YOUR STROLLERS AND COME WITH YOUR CANES
YOU CAN SWIM, YOU CAN TAKE A KAYAK
YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET US OUT OF IRAQ
YOU CAN TAKE A FERRY, YOU CAN ROW YOUR BOAT
MANHATTAN’S NOT A CASTLE AND THERE AIN’T NO MOAT
YOU CAN TAKE A TRAIN, YOU CAN COME BY CAR
YOU CAN COME FROM ALASKA THAT AIN’T TOO FAR
