Passing by
Kids let off fireworks
I saw a man
Shoot his mouth off
Horribly literally
This place
Gets to you after a while

Passing by
Kids smoke heroin
I saw police
Drive away from here
Terribly quickly
This place
Kills you after a while

Passing by
Kids die quietly
I saw the fear
Written in their eyes
Awfully clearly
This place
Finishes after a while
