New York (The State) Lyrics by The Northway

Shocking Stories! (And Those Who Dare to Tell Them)

2020

I'm sick of writing shit that I find generic
Stuck with bad habits thumb touching index
I scramble to my phone cuz I am an addict
To consult with people that I don't hang out with
I'll just sit and listen to my record collection
Drink a few beers and wonder where the time went
Check Discogs and open up my want list
Only to close it cuz I can't afford it
I would write more, but I have to work this
Job that people tell me is pointless I get it
You work so much harder doing manual labor
Am I supposed to feel bad cuz guess what I don't care
Wake up 12:30 another fucked morning
Go downstairs and do more of nothing
Repeat the mantra of this blunt force trauma
I would run away but I'd trigger my asthma
Where's the hook
It's supposed to be right here
Upstate NY
Where the hell is that
Where's the hook
We've already been there
Upstate NY
Nobody lives here
Fuck your job
Keep working for a living (Fuck you)
There's no way out (Fuck you)
You're not fucking dreaming (Fuck, Oh)
