Prayer For Her

Got to get out of this dirty old city
It smells like sweat, malt liquor, urine, sex, and dirt
Wants to find some meaningful sex
From a beautiful latino or Asian girl
She wants to make her parents proud
She wants to live a life not being
Chemically dependent to all these drugs
Now she feels as though she is wearing 
A crown of thorns
Being totally shunned by all her old friends
She has no friends anymore
Just acquaintances and drug dealers
Or friends who are not really friends
Just moochers, or dealers with a license to kill
And we can only hope
That she isn't next to die in this madness
