2,001: Long Island Oddysey

2001 feels like '71
And all the fans throw a party for the year they were born
Flesh meets scum collector, Long Island, Verrazzano Bridge
12-pack screen that makes journalism seem easier
'Cause the topic is laid out and ready to index
You sit and you wait
You sit and you wait
Wait

It feels good that Long Island let you in
Some guy's talking about a stadium show
It feels good that Long Island let you in
Some asshole's talking about a stadium show
You're talking about White America, Long Island
And a friend out west, or in Austin
Who's wiping sweat off with a towel
You're alone now
42 ounces of coffee, and you feel much better
Your father has brief flashes of you as a youth
You can only look ahead and not listen to the radio
Your feet stutter ahead
Four or five pit stops, and you're a goner
But it's under your power and you feel safe
Negotiate nothing
