Lyrics
Messed Up Kids
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Johnny deals a bit of blow on the side
Thinks that he's invencible, hates a fight
Jenny walks the streets alone, she was fine
But she got kicked out of her home in hard times
The messed up kids are on the corner with no money
They sell their time, they sell their drugs, they sell their body
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
So far away
It's a washed out Saturday
The sky all pastel shades
Under breezeblock palisades
Lights are out the streets are cold in the town
Places no one really goes to hang around
Gave up on us long ago with no hope
All you hear's the cold wind blow and get stoned
The messed up kids are on the corner with no money
They sell their time, they sell their drugs, they sell their body
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
So far away
It's a washed out Saturday
The sky all pastel shades
Under breezeblock palisades
The messed up kids are on the corner with no money
They sell their time, they sell their drugs, they sell their body
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
So far away
It's a washed out Saturday
The sky all pastel shades
Under breezeblock palisades
