[Verse]
GI made my home in a Dten-ton bomb
And GI was so happy with D28 years of free Emfallin'
Ah, but now it's all Gguts and I’m Dbawlin'
GShe was born in a Dtenement walk-up
With Gshit for nerves, you know she Dnever learned to talk to adEmults
She said "everything's Deasier in here"
[Interlude]
G D G D
Like the Gdancer with bruises who Emgathers the cash
When the Gmusic is through, no she Emdon’t look back
GI've come to Dlook for AmeriEmca too
GAll I ever wanted was a Dspot in the mountains
With an GA-frame cabin and Dnobody counting our Emdays
Or Gcursing or Dpraising our name
But the Gbest we could do is to Denter the void
Like a Gwide-eyed child waking up to the Dnoise of East EmHarlem
Don’t they see that we’re Dstarving?

I Gpawned my guitar and we Emdrove through the night
GI’ve come to Dlook for EmAmerica too
