High Heels

Compassion like razor blood
Banquet of envy
Industrial town without industry
Divorced child, single parent
Broken down school
Rape
Incest
Suicide
Streets of Oxycontin, drugs
Gangs
Promiscuity
Into the arms of strangers
Text your messages
Play on the Internet
Pray mother - pray for your child
The streets howl like hungry wolves
Tonight she wears high heels
