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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
