Lyrics

There was a stone fort.
Some windmills.
A small attempt at a canal.
There was a wall that led to a steeple.
Was a steeple full of protestant peoples.
They worshipped beaver pelts and sugar.
They sang psalms for the selling of slaves.
And the Algonquin speaking Indians went to graves
or were used for the trade.
New York was founded by a corporation.
New York was founded by a corporation.

By freelance workers and merchants.
Liquidated by the whole English war fleet.
Then the dutch canal we call Broad street was drained of its water
and filled up with concrete.
The wolves of Wall built the tallest canal.
Lead the Yankees to the great lake’s grain.
When higher sea level from Ontario falls down to eerie
Niagara cries in the rain.
New York was founded by a corporation.
New York was founded by a corporation.
Craven is the island that we all come from.
New York was founded by a corporation.

As rappers composed. Flappers unrobed.
Steel towers rose up in the sky.
And the market crashes regulating itself
While certain psalms are always sung in the moonlight.
They sing for plastic phones, police, and sugar
Our bands increase up the maximum wage.
Sparkling on a screen by machine in time’s square
a windmill still spins and cries in the rain.
New York was founded by a corporation.
New York was founded by a corporation.
Craven is the island that we all come from.
New York was founded by a corporation.
