about

This is a song about crime in New York City.

lyrics

Shootin’ the breeze on a Saturday night
Along the Brooklyn Bridge
The man that I met there gave a piece of advice, he said
Don’t ever give ‘em an inch
Just as I crossed into the city hall square
I witnessed a cruel exchange
Finally, I said to the man in charge
Something’s got to change

In Hell’s Kitchen, I hope to see a
Police man
In Hell’s Kitchen, pray God, there ain’t no
Traffic jam
‘Cause Hell’s Kitchen is Hell on Earth, here in
Manhattan

The big man said it was a big mistake
Coming here at all
‘Cause God forbid the people’s needs are met
Then the criminals are at fault
Justice, you see, is an elusive thing
Some say it comes and goes
But I know for certain there is right and wrong
And the truth is, everyone knows

In Hell’s Kitchen, I hope to see a
Police man
‘Cause Hell’s Kitchen is Hell on Earth, here in
Manhattan

The world is changing, and it all seems bleak
Who can save us from ourselves?
Democracy? Are we really free
with dirty needles on our shelves?

In Hell’s Kitchen, I hope to see a
Police man
In Hell’s Kitchen, pray God, there ain’t no
Traffic jam
‘Cause Hell’s Kitchen is Hell on Earth, here in
Manhattan
