NEW YORK APARTMENT BLOCK - THE 2ND STOR(E)Y

This New York block - we've seen it before
Floors one through six - we 've yet to explore,
So welcome back - let's even the score
Come on inside - we'll go see some more.

Behind 6B - this sequel begins
Democrat Ted - fears so many things,
The faceless men - who pull Bush's strings
Writing the songs - the president sings.

Follow the hall - and then down the stair
In flat 5F - George lives on welfare,
But now George sits - lifeless in his chair
He had no cash - for a doctor's care.

Next is 4C - a true den of sin
Home and shop both - to a crook called Glyn,
Seedy lowlifes - always going in
Come for his wares - crack and heroin.

Down to 3G - the home of Jan
Spared at Auschwitz - this frightened old man
In Aryan gangs - and the Ku Klux Klan
Sees once again - the Fuhrer's plan.

2D is dark - and Pearl's dressed in black
Mourning her boy - her dearest son Jack,
Jack went to war - he's not coming back
Both of them victims - lost to Iraq.

Now nearly done - just one floor to go
This is 1A - in here lives a ho,
Flat on her back - she's earning some dough
Pay twenty bucks - you'll get the whole show.

An old New York apartment block - home to many folk
It forms the egg - the people its yolk,
Sometimes they cry - sometimes they joke
An old New York apartment block - home to many folk
