Lyrics

Benny got a new tattoo
Down at the st. mark's zoo

He walked down to the park
Drinkin 40's, till it's dark
Talkin to a grey haired man
In a tie-dyed shirt and ragged pants
He said
That's where the hippies used to play
Down on avenue a

Susie got a new pair of shoes
Now she don't know what to do

So she's sitting in the park
Smokin pot till it's dark
Talking to a toothless man
With spiky hair
And leather pants
He said
I knew stiv in the day
And that's where the junkies used to play
Down on avenue a

When every memory is gone
And everything you know is wrong

Takin the edge off on a beautiful day
With a frappacino and a cr?e brulee
Yeah, it's all over when you see a range rover
And to my bodega, I say hasta luega

It's not what you do, it's what you say
And it's not who you know, it's who you pay

Down on avenue a
