[repeat intro and sing]:
      
Good girls walk fast in groups of three
      Fadd11
Fast girls walk slow on side streets
     
Sometimes the girls who walk alone
        
Aren't found for days or weeks


On the busy boulevards
     Fadd11
Bad boys call you names and cruise you hard
 
Bullies laugh and grin and beat
      
Your soft skin against the cold concrete


          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
                   
I'm 3,000 miles away
          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
                   
I'm 3,000 miles away

  
Knock you down, make you bleed 
 Fadd11
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
      Fadd11
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,
Fadd11
   As the bullets fly
 
Terror rules the dark night, 
 
Dogs hang from the trees
       
This training ground for punks and thieves,
 Fadd11
Home of poor white retirees
     
Who didn't bail and couldn't sell 
      
When color made the grass less green


Chorus...

Apples are filled with razor blades
     Fadd11
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
     Fadd11
No trace or clue of where they've gone
     
Sometimes these girls are never found
 
Never found, never found


Chorus... x 4
