Dead End Justice Lyrics - Mercury Albums Anthology - The Runaways

I'm a blond bombshell and I wear it well 

You're momma says you go straight to hell 

I'm sweet sixteen and a rebel queen 

I look real hot in my tight blue jeans 

Dead end kids in the danger zone 

All of you are drunk or stoned 

Dead end kids you're not alone 

You sleep in the street when you're not at home 

Long hot summers make you wanna fight 

The roar of the city lasts all night 

You like drugs you like brew 

You won't believe what I can do to you 

Dead end kids in the danger zone 

All of you are drunk or stoned 

Dead end kids you're not alone 

You sleep in the street when you're not at home 

I got away clean with my fake ID 

No more school or mommy for me 

Stealing cars and breaking hearts 

Pills and thrills and acting smart 

Dead end kids in the danger zone 

All of you are drunk or stoned 

Dead end kids you're not alone 

You sleep in the street when you're not at home 

In the naked city, spaces ain't that pretty 

As I was getting dusted, I happened to get busted 

Oh yes, I was arrested, oh God, how I protested 

They beat me with a board, it hurt just like a sword 

They kicked me in the eye, my brain began to fry 

This is like a movie, I know I'm gonna scream 

All the pain that I feel makes me feel mean 

It's so sad and crazy here, I think I'm gonna cry 

If I don't wake up from this dream 

I think I'm gonna die 

Where am I? 

Your in a cheap run down teenage jail thats where 

Oh my God 

Yeah, blondie youre gonna be here till your 18 so get used to it 

Behind the bars, there's a superstar 

Who never had a chance, she could sing, she could dance 

You don't sing and dance in juvie honey 

Behind the walls, they've seen it all, gotta have, gotta have 

Justice, justice 

Don't want your law and order 

Justice, justice 

Or world wide disorder 

What you in for? Wouldn't you like to know? 

Behind the fence, there is no defense 

There's murder, rape and bribery in and out, burglary 

You don't look so tough, oh, I been around 

On the planet sorrow, there is no tomorrow gonna get 

Justice, justice 

Don't want your law and order 

Justice, justice 

Or world wide disorder 

You can't turn off the tears 

They crawl in juvenile hall cruel reform schools 

They don't smile, they got no bail or jury trial 

Joan, lets break out tonite okay Cherie, whats the plan? 

You grab the guard, in the prison yard 

Get his keys and gun, we'll run 

My old man's waiting outside in a van is he handsome? 

You'll see cause you know, we gotta be free 

Justice, justice 

Don't want your law and order 

Justice, justice 

Or world wide disorder 

We'll go far through the prison yard 

You and me, we will be free 

Just be safe, don't be late 

If you see the guard don't hesitate 

But Joan I'm getting tired, I've run out of fire 

I can't go any farther but Cherie you must try harder 

Joan, I'm down, my ankle, I can't go on, but I can't leave you 

What do I do? Save yourself you know what you gotta do 

Oh my God
