Some Other Town

Some other town
Some other place
Some other eyes
Some other face
Some other tribe
Some other race
Lives in some other town

They shoot their drugs
They shoot their friends
And who's to blame
It all depends
There is a tear nobody mends
Down in some other town

In some other town
Somebody's boy
Is learning a dangerous trade
In some other town
Somebody's girl
Is joining the red-light parade

We contemplate
The business day
We throw the Sunday Times away
The cleaning ladies take their pay
Back to some other town

They take their cheque
They stand in line
Play every week
Lose every time
We call it fair
It could be crime
But that's some other town

In some other town
Somebody's boy
Has mastered his dangerous trade
In some other town
Somebody's girl
Is leading the red-light parade

Na na na na...

My heart is left
My head is right
My uniform
Suburban white
And I'll be driving home tonight
Over some other town

Around some other town

Right by some other town
