Jumped in a gang at age 15 

And shot while playing with his brother 

Who's going to tell his mother 

Little Jean never reached 18

A bottle of pills found by her bed

No one cares that's all she ever said

She said to me reality

I knew a girl that had to quit high school 

And get a job to support her baby

Still her parents call her lazy

And Tommy's dad gets drunk and mad

Takes a bat across his head

A perfect picture of a modern family

Is that way it should be reality

Too fast to live too young to die

But it makes me sick when I think why

It's too much for me reality
