The Templars

New York

The Templars


Through Washington Square , past the pushers and freaks 
Down to Bleeker Bob 's , where the gang all meets 
Passed the trendy shops on Broadway 
We make our to the Bowery 
Hang out in front of C.B. 's and drink a few beers 
And hassle those who 've got the nerve to stare 
A few bottles thrown and everybody knows 
That we 've gotta go before the pigs all show 
CHORUS 
This is New York City , where the kids rule the streets 
New York City 's where we wanna be 
We always find a show where we can cause trouble 
With trendy college kids and Neanderthal bouncers 
On the city streets , that 's where we get our kicks 
Even when it comes down to bottles and bricks 
Waiting for the weekend all week long 
Waiting for your worries and stress to be gone 
There 's always someone out to ruin your fun 
Like the boys in blue and the hoods with guns 
CHORUS 
When they know we 're coming the shows are over-priced 
The beers they serve are piss cup size 
Record stores in the Village are just the same 
They won 't carry our music unless it 's priced insane 
In a city so big , in a city so diverse 
Everybody here wants a big fat purse 
We 'll still have fun , we 'll still have our beer 
As you come and go , we 'll still be here 
CHORUS
