The boy's got problems

The boy's got stress

The boys' a .38 hidden in his desk

The boy's got a chickie

With four months to go

Grim Facts - every parent better know



The girl's a deadly teaser

Wants to do a private show

She's got a hundred thousand fantasies

She wants the band to know

She likes to brush across my Levis

She likes to watch him grow

Grim Facts - every parent better know

Grim Facts - every parent better know



Red lights

Gang fights

Brewing in the heat

Cop cars

Gay bars

On your precious street

That ain't so neat



Sister's on the street now

Looking for some Joe

Only got about an hour

To pay for her new nose

She gets a hundred for her body

A nickel for her soul

These are grim facts - every parent better know

Grim facts - every parent better know



Red lights

Gang fights

Brewing in the heat

Cop cars

Gay bars

On your precious street

That ain't so neat



And I'm feeling itchy

Got a fire down below

I'm a walkin' loaded time bomb

Just about to blow

Tries to slide inside my pockets

But it's strictly SRO

Grim facts - every parent better know

Grim facts - every parent better know



Red lights

Gang fights

Brewing in the heat

Cop cars

Gay bars

On your precious street

That ain't so neat



Mmm Grim facts, you know, growing all the time

Mmm Grim facts, real grim Yeah.
