  • Johnny deals a bit of blow on the side
    Thinks that he's invincible, hates a fight
    Jenny walks the streets alone she was fine
    But she got kicked out of her home in hard times

    The messed up kids are on the corner
    With no money
    They sell their time they sell their drugs
    They sell their body
    And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
    Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
    So far away
    It's a washed out Saturday
    The sky all pastel shades
    Under breeze block palisades

    Lights are smashed
    The streets are closed in the town
    Places no one really goes to hang around
    Gave up on us long ago with no hope
    All you hear's the cold wind blow and get stoned

    The messed up kids are on the corner
    With no money
    They sell their time they sell their drugs
    They sell their body
    And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
    Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
    So far away
    It's a washed out Saturday
    The sky all pastel shades
    Under breeze block palisades

    The messed up kids are on the corner
    With no money
    They sell their time they sell their drugs
    They sell their body
    And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets
    Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
    So far away
    It's a washed out Saturday
    The sky all pastel shades
    Under breeze block palisades Writer/s: BRENDAN BENSON, JAKE BUGG, LAIN ARCHER
