I knew a girl who wouldn’t stay clean 
Twenty five years in a sleepy dream 
Daddy just died and mama just left 
She was never home and she never slept 
Cops all knew her ‘cause she’d been around 
The kids gathered up by the old playground 
Ink on her fingers by the age of ten 
She’d wanna be better every now and then 

Living under pressure every day 
City State and Town in every way 

I met a man by the overpass 
Says he was born into lower class 
Daddy’s in jail and mama don’t care 
All of his cousins had best beware 
Cops all know him ‘cause he’s been around 
The kids beat him up by the old playground 
Ink on his fingers by the age of ten 
He’d wanna be better every now and then 

I’m a stranger trying to be a friend 
I’m in danger trying to pretend 

So sharpen up those hooks and lay ‘em down 
‘Cause we’re draggin’ that line across the ground 

Living under pressure every day 
City State and Town in every way 

So sharpen up those hooks and lay ‘em down 
‘Cause we’re draggin’ that line across the ground 

Draggin’ that line across the ground
