Mrs. Morgan what's she on?
She's here in the night and gone by dawn
What your children, please beware
There are dangerous things in the air
Chemicals baking in the sun
Tony down the block is upped by none
Tell me, tell me something please,

We can't go home cause we've all been barred
Life's a mess, but still we jest
Come on, let me hit that
Jimmy Morgan went to jail
The whole damn block put up for bail
Everyone thinks it cause he's transgender
The officer says he went off on a bender
Tell me, tell me something please
Why is it life has no guarantee
We're trying hard, and still we fail
There's no escape, that ship has sailed
