A good job, good home But you chose the streets as a place to go Taking on the uniform to wear loud and proud But underneath it all, a teenage suburban girl With her parents and a brother and a sister that miss her And they can't figure out why she's not listening
[Chorus] And she's sleeping 6 feet deep tonight Sleeping... She's got old bones and dirty coffins They can't be better than broken homes Lonely fossil lying in the cold
Unconditional love and protection from the cold It all came down to one long cruel night She took but one shot to the vein And time stood still she'll never be the same And now she realizes the streets aren't fun and games
[Chorus]
Feel the chill as time stood still The rain came and the angels sang I watched the people come and go The black cars lined row by row And Jenny's parents are left to weep While her spirit sleeps on the concrete
[Chorus]
And it's do or die, and death or glory When choose the streets stricken by the devils and the cheats And they'll take your soul and turn you inside out
