The gorillas of the ghetto are getting to you
Stealing the fruit of your wasted youth
Downtown boys with pretty smiles
Tell you how they really like your style.
You invite them for tea and sympathy
But their hearts are filled with Apathy
And it's far too late when you realize
That once again you've fallen for their lies.
And here you are on my phone again with
Nothing to say!
Telling me why you cannot leave when you
Know you shouldn't stay, you say,
"The city she will bring you down. but that's the
Price you gotta pay"
Well maybe it's time you realize that it's
Time to run away!
Time to get away!
When you played the boy they beat you up
When you played the girl they called you a slut
Now you're stuck somewhere in between
Trying so hard to keep your veins clean.
But those trailer park girls with sunk-in eyes
Flash their bright anorexic smiles
And it's far too late when you realize
That once again you've fallen for their lies.
