lyrics

Go Nowhere Kids

Ricky’s out on a Wednesday night
He complains that his dad’s uptight
His mom left home when he was three
Got no clue where she might be

A girl I know is sellin’ her eggs
Another one is workin’ at Legz
Boys get rich by sellin meth
They say the’ll quit but not quite yet

I know so many go nowhere kids
I see them living down on the skids
Out on the street their running rabid
I know so many… know so many…
Go Nowhere Kids.

Beth complains that she’s failing class
says her mom’s gonna beat her ass
She’d had a string of bad boyfriends
just wants the cycle to end

They’re getting high in a parking lot
Talkin bout what they haven’t got
They’re not dumb and they’re not blind
They’re the kids who were left behind

I know so many go nowhere kids
I see them living down on the skids
Out on the street their running rabid
I know so many… know so many…
Go Nowhere Kids.

And I could have been one of them back with that one girlfriend
Doing things just to offend but that was way back when

Jimmy works another shit job
His mom’s a drunk and his dad’s a slob
He’s got no hopes and fewer goals
Says his friends are all assholes

A girl will go with any guy
Another one just wants to get high
They’re taking mom’s old opiates
They all say they’ve no regrets

I know so many go nowhere kids
I see them living down on the skids
Out on the street their running rabid
I know so many… know so many…
Go Nowhere Kids.
