Lyrics

this city's a ghost town even the homeless have gone under ground
the whole world feels upside down today
no money no food to eat
it's dire straits out there in the street
the job i had as a waiter slipped away
hey where have all the taxis gone
the subway's runnin but you won't get on
stay inside and pray ya don't come down
there's a new normal in this town

It hit hard and came on fast
just how long will this last
shakin hands is a thing in the past it's sad
but true
will we go out to clubs again
go to restaurants to meet our friends
has the way it used to be back then come to an end ?
where have all the taxis gone
the subway's runnin but you won't get on
stay inside and pray ya don't come down
there's a new normal in this town

So fare thee well Johnny
your parting leaves me still
I will find the means to live
but can i find the will
The New Normal
