Intro

(x2):

[repeat intro and sing]:

 Good girls walk fast in groups of three

 Fast girls walk slow on side streets

 Sometimes the girls who walk alone

 Aren't found for days or weeks

On the busy boulevards

 Bad boys call you names and cruise you hard

 Bullies laugh and grin and beat

 Your soft skin against the cold concrete

I'm 3,000 miles away

I'm 3,000 miles away

I'm 3,000 miles away

I'm 3,000 miles away

 Knock you down, make you bleed

 Make you cry and make you think

 I'll die here soon if I don't leave

 If I don't leave, if I don't leave

 This patch of sky and native ground

 Take turns to push and pull you down

 Forget trying to live and be happy

I'll take safe and terror free

Chorus...

 Hit the floor, shut off the lights,

As the bullets fly

 Terror rules the dark night,

 Dogs hang from the trees

 This training ground for punks and thieves,

 Home of poor white retirees

 Who didn't bail and couldn't sell

 When color made the grass less green

Chorus...

Solo

 Apples are filled with razor blades

 But fools and innocents believe

 That love and faith and truth and beauty

 Can make a garden of this human factory

Chorus...

 Bad girls run fast leave home alone

 No trace or clue of where they've gone

 Sometimes these girls are never found

 Never found, never found

Chorus... x 4
