Dead End Justice

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett] I'm a blonde bombshell, and I wear it well Your mama says you're goin' straight to hell I'm sweet sixteen and a rebel queen And I look real hot in my tight, blue jeans [Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] Dead-end kids in the danger zone All of you are drunk and stoned Dead-end kids, you're not alone You sleep on the streets when you're not at home [Verse 2: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] Long hot summers make you wanna fight The roar of the city lasts all night You like drugs, you like brew You wouldn't believe what I may do to you [Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] Dead-end kids in the danger zone All of you are drunk and stoned Dead-end kids, you're not alone You sleep on the streets when you're not at home [Verse 3: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett] Got away clean with my fake ID No more school or mommy for me Stealin' cars, and breakin' hearts Pills and thrills and actin' smart [Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] Dead-end kids in the danger zone All of you are drunk and stoned Dead-end kids, you're not alone You sleep on the streets when you're not at home [Post-Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett] In the naked city, spaces ain't that pretty As I was getting dusted, I happened to get busted Oh, yes, I was arrested, oh, God, how I protested They beat me with a board, it hurt just like a sword They kicked me in the eye, my brain began to fry This is like a movie, I know I'm gonna scream All the pain that I feel makes me feel mean It's so sad and crazy here, I think I'm gonna cry If I don't wake up from this dream I think I'm gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna Ah! [Verse 4: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett] Where am I? You're in a cheap, run-down teenage jail, that's where Oh, my God! Yeah, blondie, you're gonna be here 'til you're 18, so, get used to it Behind the bars, there's a superstar Who never had a chance She could sing, she could dance You don't sing and dance in juvie, honey Behind the walls, they've seen it all Gotta have, gotta have [Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett] Justice, justice Don't want your law and order Justice, justice Or worldwide disorder [Verse 5: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] What you in for? Wouldn't you like to know? (Ooh) Behind the fence, there's no defense There's murder, rape and bribery In and out, burglary You don't look so tough Ah, I been around On the planet sorrow, there's no tomorrow Gonna get, gonna get [Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett] Justice, justice Don't want your law and order Justice, justice Or worldwide disorder [Verse 6: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett] You can't turn off the tears They crawl in juvenile hall Cruel reform schools They don't smile They got no bail or jury trial Joan, let's break out tonight Okay, Cherie, what's the plan? You grab the guard, in the prison yard Get his keys and gun, we'll run My old man's waiting outside in a van Is he handsome? You'll see, you'll see 'Cause you know we gotta be free [Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett] Justice, justice Don't want your law and order Justice, justice Or worldwide disorder [Verse 7: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie] We'll go far through the prison yard You and me, we will be free Just be safe, don't be late If you see the guard, don't hesitate But, Joan, I'm getting tired I've run out of fire I can't go any farther But, Cherie, you must try harder Joan, I'm down, my ankle I can't go on, but I can't leave you What do I do? Save yourself, you gotta save yourself You know what you gotta do Oh, my God! [Outro Solo / Instrumental Outro]
