 ( )  x2
She's  15 and she's leaving home
Living  on the streets where she don't  feel alone
Daddy's  always gone and mommy's on the sauce
Living  in a mansion it's easy to  get lost
 She's going  to a place where they understand
Baby  on the way her womb's a garbage  can
Who  said anything about a good life
 This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo  again  - just  another entry to a never  ending story
Wasted  again  - I think  you need a new best friend
Nervous  in the alley off the boulevard
Shaking  all over and the panic starts
 You see she  needs to get her prescription filled
 And she knows  exactly how she'll  be billed
Nervous  on the alley waiting for  a fix
 She ain't got  no money just a couple  of tricks
Who  said anything about a charmed life
 This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo  again  - just  another entry to a never  ending story
Wasted  again  - I think  you need a new best friend
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Who  said anything  about a good life
Who  said anything  about a charmed life
Who  said anything  about a fair life
 It's mad
Dying  in the alley waiting for her man
Carrying  her child and a sleeping bag
Should  have would have could have never crossed her mind
 So she passes  on to the other side
Here  he comes suit shades car  and a beeper
Sugar  daddy pimp pushing fucking  grim reaper
Who  said anything about a fair life
 This one's mad mad mad mad
Gonzo  again  - just  another entry to a never  ending story
Wasted  again  - I think  you need a new  friend
Gonzo  again  - just  another entry to a never  ending story
Wasted  again  - I think  you need a new best friend
