Lyrics

[Intro]

Uh-huh, shattered

Uh-huh, shattered

[Verse 1]

Love and hope and sex and dreams

Are still surviving on the streets

And look at me

[Chorus]

I'm in tatters (Tatters)

I'm just shattered (Shattered, shattered)

[Verse 2]

Friends are so alarming and my lover's never charming

Life's just a cocktail party on the streets

Big Apple

People dressed in plastic bags (Shay-oobie)

Directing traffic (Shattered)

Some kind of fashion (Shay-oobie, shattered)

[Verse 3]

Laughter, joy and loneliness

And sex, and sex, and sex, and sex

And look at me

[Chorus]

I'm in tatters (Tatters)

I'm just shattered (Shattered, shattered)

[Verse 4]

All this chitter-chatter

Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout

Schmatta, schmatta, schmatta

I can't give it away on Seventh Avenue

This town's been wearing tatters, uh-huh (Shay-oobie, shattered, shay-oobie, shattered)

[Verse 5]

Work and work for love and sex

Ain't you hungry for success?

Success, success, success

[Chorus]

Does it matter? (Matter)

I'm just shattered (Shattered)

Does it matter? (Shattered)

[Chorus]

Oh, look at me

I'm just shattered (Shattered)

I'm just shattered (Shattered)

Look at me, I'm just shattered (Shattered)

Yeah (Shattered)

[Verse 6]

Pride and joy and greed and sex

That's what makes our town the best

Pride and joy and dirty dreams

Are still surviving on the streets (Tatters)

And look at me

[Chorus]

I'm in tatters (Shattered)

Yeah, I've been battered (Shattered)

What does it matter? (Shattered)

Does it matter? (Shattered)

[Outro]

Uh-huh, does it matter?

Uh-huh, I'm just shattered

Mmm, I'm shattered

Hoomph, shay-oobie (Shay-oobie)

Shattered (Shattered)

Hoomph, shay-oobie (Shay-oobie)

Shattered (Shattered)

Shay-oobie (Shay-oobie, shattered, shattered)

Don't you know the crime rate's going

Up, up, up, up, up

To live in this town you must be

Tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

We 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

What say?

Uh-huh

This town's full of money grabbers and

Go ahead, bite the Big Apple

Don't mind the maggots

Uh-huh

Sha-doobie, my brain's been battered

My friends, they come around and

Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter

Pile it up

Pile it up

Pile it high on the platter
