This room cost 2,000 dollars a month
You can believe it man it's true
Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

Additional quotes by Lou Reed

Some people, they like to go out dancin'
And other people, they have to work ...
And there's even some evil mothers
Who'll tell you everything is just dirt
You know that women never really faint
That villains always blink their eyes, ooh
That children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and hate it ... They say Jane, Sweet Jane, oh woah, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to her, hey, when she smiles
