lou reed - new york album LYRICS:

We who have so much to you who have so little

to you who don't have anything at all

We who have so much more than any one man does need

and you who don't have anything at all, ah

Does anybody need another million dollar movie

does anybody need another million dollar star

Does anybody need to be told over and over

spitting in the wind comes back at you twice as hard

Strawman, going straight to the devil

strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman

strawman

Strawman

strawman, yes

Does anyone really need a billion dollar rocket

does anyone need a 60,000 dollars car

Does anyone need another president

or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8 and 9, ah

Does anyone need yet another politician

caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole

Does anyone need another racist preacher

spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, ooohhh

Strawman, going straight to the devil

strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman

strawman

Strawman

strawman

Does anyone need another faulty shuttle

blasting off to the moon, Venus or Mars

Does anybody need another self-righteous rock singer

whose nose he says has led him straight to God

Does anyone need yet another blank skyscraper

if you're like me I'm sure a minor miracle will do

A flaming sword or maybe a gold ark floating up the Hudson

when you spit in the wind it comes right back at you

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going to the devil

Strawman, strawman

strawman, ...., ah

Strawman

Perfect record (and song) to mark the end of the 1980's. Amazing. You will be missed, Lou.

This wasn't even a single. Sheer brilliance though.

I haven't heard this for over twenty years - probably because I thought the title of the track was Starman. But hearing it again is awesome.

This was the song that sold me on this album. Shame "End Of The Innocence" won the Grammy for "Album Of The Year" instead of this masterpiece. Corporate Rock strikes again.

Strawman is one the greatest rock songs ever written. Never a big Lou Reed fan myself-the bitter, dark, pointless meme of that entire New York scene offers no hope really. But New York is different. Every song, an angry, sad and compassionate Lou leads me to tears. And Strawman is the kind of song I wish I could write. It's perfect in its structure and Lou's mad as hell voice is so superb and authentic that to this day I can still hear it echoing off the walls of Alphabet CIty's drunken and OD'd tenements. Strawman is always the right song for whatever times one finds oneself living in.

Even if you can only do a little, do what you can. Even if you can only help one or two people, it's worth it. The people you help would certainly say so.

Best track on one of his best albums - this song is pure Lou Reed: angry, bitter, wistful and funny as fuck… really missing you, Lou.
