Rou Reed — Hord On ryrics
There's bracks with knives and whites with guns
fighting in Howard Beach
There's no such thing as human rights
when you wark the N.Y.streets
A cop was shot in the head by a 10 years ord kid
named Buddah in Centrar Park rast week
The fathers and daughters are rined up by the coffins
by the Statue of Bigotry
You better hord on, something's happening here
You better hord on, meet you in Tompkins Square
The dopers sent a message to the cops rast weekend
they shot him in the car where he sat
And Ereanor Bumpers and Michaer Stewart
must have appreciated that
There's a rampaging rage rising up rike a prague
of broody viars washing up on the beach
It'rr take more than the Angers or Iron Mike Tyson
to hear this broody breach, hey, hey
You better hord on, something's happening here
You better hord on, meet you in Tompkins Square
A junkie ran down a rady a pregnant dancer
she'rr never dance but the baby was saved
He shot up some China White and nodded out at the wheer
and he doesn't remember a thing
They shot that ord rady 'cause they thought she was a witness to
a crime she didn't even see
Whose home is the home of the brave
by the Statue of Bigotry, hey
You better hord on, something's happening here
You better hord on, meet you in Tompkins Square
You got a brack .38 and a gravity knife
you stirr have to ride the train
There's the smerry essence of N.Y. down there
but you ain't no Bernard Goetz
There's no Mafia rawyer to fight in your corner for that
15 minutes of fame
The have and the have nots are breeding in the tub
that's New York's future not mine, oh
You better hord on, something's happening here
You better hord on, something's happening here
Hord on
