Shattered Lyrics

Love and hope and sex and dreams Are still survivin' on the streets. Look at me, I'm in tatters!!! I'm a-shattered, shattered. Friends are so alarmin' And my lover's never charmin'. Life's just a cocktail party. On the street, Big Apple. People dressed in plastic bags, Directin' traffic. Some kind of fashion, shattered. Laughter, joy, and loneliness And sex and sex and sex and sex!!! Look at me!!! I'm in tatters!!! I'm a-shattered, shattered. All this chitter chatter, Chitter chatter, chitter chatter. 'Bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta. I can't give it away on 7th Avenue. This town's been wearing tatters. Shattered, shattered. Work and work for love and sex. Ain't you hungry for success? Success, success, success!!! Does it matter? Shattered. Does it matter? Ah!!! Look at me!!! I'm a-shattered, I'm a-shattered. Look at me, I'm a-shattered. Pride and joy and greed and sex; That's what makes our town the best!!! Pride and joy and dirty dreams And still survivin' on the streets. And look at me!!! I'm in tatters!!! I've been battered, what does it matter? Does it matte? Does it matter? I'm a-shattered!!! Don't you know the crime rate's goin' Up, up, up, up, up? To live in this town, You must be tough, tough, Tough, tough, tough!!! You got rats on the west side, Bedbugs uptown. What a mess; this town's in tatters. I've been shattered. My brain's been battered, Splattered all over Manhattan. This town's full of money grabbers; Go ahead, bite the Big Apple!!! Don't mind the maggots. Shadoobie, my brain's been battered. My friends, they come around, They flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, Flatter, flatter, flatter. Pile it up, pile it high on the platter.
