Shattered, shattered  Love and hope and sex and dreams  Are still surviving on the street  Look at me, I'm in tatters!  I'm a shattered  Shattered    Friends are so alarming  And my lover's never charming  Life's just a cocktail party on the street  Big Apple  People dressed in plastic bags  Directing 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?  I'm shattered.  Shattered    Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered  I'm a shattered  Look at me- I'm a shattered, yeah    Pride and joy and greed and sex  That's what makes our town the best  Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street  And look at me, I'm in tatters, yeah  I've been battered, what does it matter  Does it matter, uh-huh  Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered    Don't you know the crime rate is going 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  Bed bugs uptown  What a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered  My brain's been battered, splattered all over Manhattan    Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers  Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh  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
