Lyrics
0:40Good girls walk fast
0:41In groups of three
0:45Fast girls walk slow
0:47On side streets
0:50Sometimes the girls who walk alone
0:55Aren't found for days or weeks
1:01On the busy boulevards
1:05Bad boys call you names
1:07And cruise you hard
1:11Bullies laugh and grin and beat
1:15Your soft skin against
1:17The cold concrete
1:21I'm 3000 miles away
1:26I'm 3000 miles away
1:31I'm 3000 miles away
1:36I'm 3000 miles away
1:41Knock you down
1:42Make you bleed
1:46Make you cry
1:47And make you think
1:51I'll die here soon if I don't leave
1:56If I don't leave if I don't leave
2:01This patch of sky and native ground
2:06Take turns to push and pull you down
2:11Forget trying to live and be happy
2:16I'll take safe and terror free
2:21I'm 3000 miles away
2:26I'm 3000 miles away
2:31I'm 3000 miles away
2:37I'm 3000 miles away
2:42Hit the floor
2:43Shut off the lights
2:45As the bullets fly
2:47Terror rules the dark night
2:49Dogs hang from the trees
2:51This training ground for punks and thieves
2:54Home of poor white retirees
2:57Who didn't bail
2:58And couldn't sell
2:59When color made the grass less green
3:02I'm 3000 miles away
3:07I'm 3000 miles away
3:12I'm 3000 miles away
3:17I'm 3000 miles away
3:41Apples are filled with razor blades
3:44But fools and innocents believe
3:46That love and faith and truth and beauty
3:49Can make a garden of this human factory
3:52I'm 3000 miles away
3:56I'm 3000 miles away
4:02I'm 3000 miles away
4:06I'm 3000 miles away
4:11Bad girls run fast
4:13Leave home alone
4:16No trace or clue of where they've gone
4:21Sometimes these girls are never found
4:26Never found never found
4:31I'm 3000 miles away
4:36I'm 3000 miles away
4:41I'm 3000 miles away
4:46I'm 3000 miles away
4:51I'm 3000 miles away
4:56I'm 3000 miles away
