some other town
Some other town, some other place Some other eyes, some other face Some other tribe, some other race Lives in some other town  They shoot their drugs, they shoot their friends And who's to blame? It all depends There is a tear nobody mends Down in some other town  In some other town, somebody's boy Is learning a dangerous trade In some other town, somebody's girl Is joining the red-light parade  We contemplate the business day We throw the Sunday Times away The cleaning ladies take their pay Back to some other town  They take their check, they stand in line Play every week, lose every time We call it fair, it could be crime But that's some other town  In some other town, somebody's boy Has mastered his dangerous trade In some other town, somebody's girl Is leading the red-light parade  My heart is left, my head is right My uniform suburban white And I'll be driving home tonight  Over some other town Around some other town Right by some other town
