Whitestone City Limits Lyrics - Outsiders - Jesse Malin

New York was a dirty place 

Everything was out of sorts 

Just another bastard kid 

And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone 

Another supermarket chain 

A little something for the pain 

Everybody looks the same 

And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone 

And I didn't do it for the money 

I was only doing what I liked 

And I'm so sad for you, honey 

The streets were like the Cretin hop 

Disco blasting on the block 

Got beat up in a parking lot 

And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone 

Graveyards and the factories 

Archie Bunker bigotry 

In the shadow of the world's fair 

And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone 

And I didn't want to hurt nobody 

I was only doing what was right 

And I'm so sad for you, honey 

Waiting on a midnight bus 

To get me to the seven train 

Running from the chicken hawks 

And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone 

And I didn't do it for the money 

I was only doing what I liked 

And I'm going back to New York City
