“Just Another Day (in nyc)” (1971); Music by Paul McCartney, Re-written by GRA

[“(Updated) Photos of rotten apple crime: one raceless man murders another during rush hour in midtown manhattan (check out the invisible person!): I suspect there are more lives that don’t matter to me in this incident; the daily mail and the post have both blocked comments, but we haven’t!”]

Here’s a song the elderly lady in the photo might relate to—as she was my muse for this one.

“Just Another Day (in nyc)” (1971)
Music: Paul McCartney
Rewritten by GRA

When I wake up in the morning,
In the same old way,
During all my travels,
I know I’ll pass a murder today,
It’s just another day.

Traveling through Brooklyn,
Walking through the Bronx,
Manhattan is nothing but a crime scene.

(Guitar strums)

It’s just another day.

As I cross the intersection,
To the side of me,
There is a commotion,
Of a stabbing I don’t want to see.

It’s just another day.

Du, du, du, du, du, du,
It’s just another day,
Du, du, du, du, du, du,
It’s just another day.

So bad,
So bad,
Crime makes you so damn mad,
The black mayor we have, says, “Oh well,”
While the streets take a path,

Going straight to hell.

(Guitar strums)

Crime stays, the cops show up,
And they come, and they leave,
But crime’s back the next dayyy,
So bad,
Sometimes the crime’s so bad.

When I step into my home,
In the evening,
I know I was lucky, that I’m here—that I’m able to say,
“Was just another day.”

Du, du, du, du, du, du,
It’s just another day,
Du, du, du, du, du, du,
Was just another dayyyy.

End
