Lyric discussion by gary760985 

The lyrics, New York Times effect on man literally means the day to day stresses that take its toll on one living in New York City during the 70;s. As outsiders you can try and understand it but you will not fully comprehend it until you have spent a day in the shoes of a New Yorker

"You know it's alright, it's okay, I'll live to see another day, But we can try to understand the new York Times effect on man... Whether you're a brother Whether you're a mother you're staying alive...

It is a general comment on the life and times of living in NY

@gary760985 your interpretation seems quite reasonable.
