Real New Yorkers
Finally got myself a license
That isn't out of state
And I felt like such a grown up
With the picture up to date
Then out the corner of my eye
I saw my idol on the train
Maybe someday when I'm famous
He'll finally know my name
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
Heard you're moving to the suburbs
And you're wondering if I'm next
But for me this city's more
Than just a place to leave the nest
I hope you see how much it hurts me
That you don't respect my choice
But regardless I'll be ready
To hit the town when you're divorced
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
Been losing lots of sleep these days
Worrying someone might find out that I'm a fake
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
That isn't out of state
And I felt like such a grown up
With the picture up to date
Then out the corner of my eye
I saw my idol on the train
Maybe someday when I'm famous
He'll finally know my name
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
Heard you're moving to the suburbs
And you're wondering if I'm next
But for me this city's more
Than just a place to leave the nest
I hope you see how much it hurts me
That you don't respect my choice
But regardless I'll be ready
To hit the town when you're divorced
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
Been losing lots of sleep these days
Worrying someone might find out that I'm a fake
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Just in time for the world, for the world to end
We'll be real New Yorkers by then
Though the city may be burning, we've still got to make rent
