it's about Williamsburg (small neighborhood in brooklyn)
Lyrics
I will stay on Bedford Street, always
L Train, black umbrellas for the June rain, always
Defend Brooklyn, always
I had a picture of you
It was taken before you left
But it doesn’t make me sad, no it doesn’t make me sad
Because it will always hang in Brooklyn
(Optional)
There’s this guy who wants to sell me things
That I know I really don’t need
And I’ll buy them with money I don’t have
I guess it’s me who’ll never see
I will stay, east of the river, always
Dumbo got his trunk wrapped around me, always
Defend Brooklyn, always
She said to me, “Hey drunk man, it’s gonna be okay
Just one more sip of gin will make that fever go away
But you’ve got a home to stay warm in
You’ve got friends in Brooklyn”
