"Cities use to be better at building transit. Cities used "Cut and Cover" because they were more skilled at
building transit because ultimately, different tunneling techniques and different construction methods are like tools in a
tool box. They all have their place, and places where you should not use them. A true master, or master builder knows when
to use each to their maximum effect."

These four transports rival, and often beat by 10s of decibels, even diesel and gasoline busses, creating significant noise
pollution.
"Come on along and listen to ~ the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo ~ the lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train the rattle of the taxis
The daffydils who entertain at Angelo's and Maxie's"

"Every night, walking home I never can decide
Which is worse, where I'm working or the subway ride
On my block, there's no flowers, they just can't grow
All around, run down buildings, in a shanty row
But tonight while walking something caught my eye
I saw something I never saw before
I saw the sky
A piece of the sky"

"I begged him to go slow, whether he heard
I'll never know (know, know, know, know, know, know, know)
Look out, look out, look out
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school, they all stop and stare ~ I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack ....
The leader of the pack, now he's gone
The leader of the pack, now he's gone
the leader of the pack, now he's gone"
