Morning!
Oh, right. Another interview?
Millionth time's the charm

Growing up in Jersey City
The wrong side of the Hudson
I wished upon the Manhattan skyline
Thought I'd show up and land a job at The Times or The Observer
A writer!
With a big city byline
And you will be!
Well I'm exhausted after months of pounding pavement
But fingers crossed, you'll nail this interview at ten
Sure!
'Cause when the facts say, "Andy Sachs move back to Jersey"
Do you?
No!
I decide to be irrationally confident and try again!
Damn straight!

I'm ready to work! Today could be my day
That's the spirit, baby!
So The New Yorker doesn't want me? That's okay!
Screw them!
As soon as I get one good shot, I'd show this city
I mean business!

I mean business, oh, yeah
I mean business, yes, I do
I mean business
New York City
And then you're takin' the train
To my fifteenth interview
Hey
I mean business
Yup!
And I'm ready to work
And then I'll work
My way back to you
Hey, good luck!

I wanna write the kind of stories that define a generation
I know someday I'll find my voice, I just need some validation
When can I show them how good I am?
How many doors can a city slam?
Somebody, please, take a chance on me
I'm no one today
I'm no one today
Tomorrow - wait and see

I wanna break headlines
I mean business, oh, yeah
Like all my literary heroes
I mean business, yes, I do
I'm finally in it
Yes, I'm in it
New York City!
I know I got so much to say
Ooh, perfect, flawless
How do I let my voice come through?
Ooh, cutthroat, ruthless
I'm ambitious and I'm ready
To work

I grew up wishing on the skyline
Oh, but I
Well, now I'm here
And I got work to do
In New York City
Ooh, ah
I got work to do!
