Cash Grab City (Parody of "New York City")

You told me about the They Might Be Giants show
They used to my favorite band so I was thrilled to go
You said "It's standing room only, gotta wear comfy shoes"
You know I don't mind standing as long as I get a view

We met in the line a half mile from the door
They offered us a fastpass lane for 25 bucks more
We got in the venue it was already packed tight
You craned your neck, I craned mine, it was the worst night of my life

'Cause no one is your friend in cash grab city
All the views are blocked unless you are young and pretty
They cram you in like sardines unless you pay an upgrade fee
And the worst thing about cash grab city is, you can't see

Twenty dollar parking, Services Fees
$50 puts you in the balcony
No sitelines outside the pit
Or the upgrade lounge where VIPs sit
Gotta be a Giant if you wanna see
And everyone is taller than me

You sent me a message just the other day
You said "Carcass is coming soon, do you wanna see them play?"
I said hell yeah, but then I said, wait what is the venue?
You said it's at Cash Grab City, I said I'd rather puke

'Cause no one is your friend in cash grab city
All the views are blocked unless you are young and pretty
The ticket price looks good until you get that service fee
And the worst thing about cash grab city is, you can't see

I guess I'll never play in Cash Grab City
Like I said the views are bad, and the sound is shitty
They pack in 1400 and when it's at capacity
The worst thing about Cash Grab City is, you can't see
