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 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 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 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

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

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 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 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 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 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away

I'm 3000 miles away ......
