Song lyrics
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 cruise you hard 
Bullies laugh and grin and beat 
Your soft skin against 
The cold concrete 

I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 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 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 

Hit the floor 
Shut off the lights 
As the bullets fly 
Terror rules the dark night 
Dogs hang from the trees 

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 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 

Apples are filled with razor blades 
But fools and innocents believe 
That love and faith and truth and beauty 
Can make a garden of this human factory 

I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 

Bad girls run 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 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away 
I'm 3,000 miles away
