“My My Metrocard” is a go-go song about escapism and exploration. It uses a call-and-response pattern to condemn then-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose policies against quality-of-life crimes Le Tigre opposed.
[Verse 1]
Off the pillow and into the air
I’m ready ‘cause it’s my day
Situation: it’s all possible
Everything is going my way
[Chorus]
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
Think they’ll go a little
But they're gonna go far!
[Verse 2]
Oh, fuck! Giuliani!
He’s such! A fucking jerk
Shut down! All the stripbars
Workfare! Does not work
[Chorus]
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
Think they’ll go a little
But they're gonna go far!
[Verse 3]
Next stop! Atlantic Avenue
Next stop! Christopher Street
Next stop! Transfer to the
Next stop! A, C or E
[Chorus]
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
Think they’ll go a little
But they're gonna go far!
[Verse 3]
Next stop! Atlantic Avenue
Next stop! Christopher Street
Next stop! Transfer to the
Next stop! A, C or E
[Chorus]
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
My, my Metrocard
Think they’ll go a little
But they're gonna go far!
