Text for song:
The marching men burned the people down
This should not happen in our land
There is no light for the ones who know
For they have the right to discover the world
Bridge:
Just look around, don't despair at what you seek
Look to tomorrow
You know you've got to be free
Chorus:
Escape from New York
Turning the night into day
Escape from New York
Only a lifetime way
They're on their way, you must understand
There is nothing that we can do
One day we'll rise, look into their eyes
And be free to abolish the right
Bridge
Chorus
Solo break
The knights of old, eyes of burning gold
Coming to lead you away
Temperatures are high, hear the people scream
Now they'll inherit a world of their own
Bridge
Chorus
