Lyrics

I'm no fallen war hero
I'm no king of New York town
there's no more sympathy for the American junkie
Gotta keep my head on straight
and my hands pulled down
Keep em clean, keep em down

CHORUS:
Escape From New York City
She's burnin down, she's burnin down
God hates monsters like me
Snakes and Spiders all around

I'm no demi-god reborn
No, I'm no retro hand me down
There's no more liberty for all the queens and the junkies
Gotta keep your suit on straight and your heart will drown

CHORUS II:
Escape From New York City
She's burnin down, she's burnin down
God hates sinners like me
Snakes and Spiders all around

Break

Guitar Solo

CHORUS III:
Escape From New York City
She's burnin down, she's burnin down
God hates zombies like me
Snakes and Spiders all around
