NYC's Like a Graveyard (Album version) Lyrics

New York City's like graveyard
All the corpses like the way I play my guitar
You gotta be cute if you wanna get far
New York City's like graveyard
All the tombstones sky scraping
All the rock stars double dating
So if you hate me go on hating
You've been waiting your whole life to be waiting

We've got it
We've got it
We've got it
We've got it

All those hookers in their fucking cars
12 steppin' hippies hangin' out at the bar
Suckers and fuckers and stupid retards
New York City's like a graveyard

We've got it
We've got it
We've got it
We've got it

All the yuppies getting married
All the yuppies getting buried
Singin' in the city's like singin' on the prairie
New York City's like a cemetery

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
