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
