G C G
Johnny deals a bit of blow on the side
C G
Thinks that he's invincible, hates a fight
C G
Jenny walks the streets alone she was fine
C G
But she got kicked out of her home in hard times
C
The messed up kids are on the corner
With no money
They sell their time they sell their drugs
They sell their body
F
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
Em
So far away
C
It's a washed out Saturday
Em
The sky all pastel shades
C
Under breeze block palisades
G C G
Lights are smashed, the streets are closed in the town
C G
Places no one really goes to hang around
C G
Give up on us long ago with no hope
C G
All you hear's the cold wind blow and get stoned
C
The messed up kids are on the corner
With no money
They sell their time they sell their drugs
They sell their body
F
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
Em
So far away
C
It's a washed out Saturday
Em
The sky all pastel shades
B
Under breeze block palisades
