3,000 Miles |
| 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 |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| Hit the floor |
| Shut off the lights |
| As the bullets fly |
| Terror rules the dark night |
| Dogs hang from the trees |
| These 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 |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| 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 |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| 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 |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
| I’m 3,000 miles away |
