about

A dingy tale of life and death in Philadelphia's most notorious ghetto, "The Badlands"

www.youtube.com/v/ouwAiKzqyLM

lyrics

Walk past the abandoned cars
The drug deals
And the go-go bars
Murder- to my left
Right hand- rape & theft
In the alley someone's shooting dope
Is she running from reality?
Or just trying to cope?
She says,
"If there ain't no Jesus there ain't no hope,
'Cause nobody gets to heaven
On a golden rope."

Rolling
Thru The Badlands

A body was found
It was the girl next door
Daddy's little angel
Died a ten dollar whore
Face down naked
In a broken home
She dreamt of being famous
Yet died unknown

The sirens broke the silence
In the middle of the night
A son and a daughter
A husband and a wife
The neighbors fought with courage
An effort lost in vain
Another burned out building
To remind us of the pain

Rolling
Thru The Badlands
