Lyrics
Thunder gathers round, lightning makes no sound
Storm cloud touches down, god damn this little town
I wish he would
Cast a spell on cobble hill
Leave it cursed all the way to Bensonhusrt
Leave 'em cheerin' in Queens, they'll be happy in Staten
But they wouldn't miss a beat in Manhattan.
So bring it down
Strike Brooklyn down The place of my birth wiped from the earth
Strike Brooklyn down Erase this place and leave no trace
Strike Brooklyn down
No time for wastin' flood out Mill Basin
Raze the foundation, burn down Kensington
I wish you would
They're building arks in Borough Park
Gravesend now stretches to Gerritsen,
They're pillagin' Bay Ridge, born to die in Bed-Stuy,
I wanted to save you but I can't see why
So bring it down
Strike Brooklyn down The place of my birth wiped from the earth
Strike Brooklyn down Erase this place and leave no trace
Strike Brooklyn down
