Gangster Lies

Jenny's on the corner slinging drugs so she can feed her brother
Trying to stay alive inside her lonely broken paradise
She was only sixteen when she met them very vulnerable
They were using her to make a buck while jenny lost it all

I see you, struggling to get through
Wondering if you'll see the other side
Jenny you're an angel, tied up by the devil
Drifting out to sea with the offshore tide, because of gangster lies

Two years later she was no longer a youth offender
The judge was unsympathetic, made an example of her
Throw her to the wolves in the dark deep depths of Bronzefield
That's what you get when you cross the administration

I see you, struggling to get through
Wondering if you'll see the other side
Jenny you're an angel, tied up by the devil
Drifting out to sea with the offshore tide, because of gangster lies

Jenny was twenty-one when she got released
Battered, bruised and beaten by the beast
Started asking round for her brothers' whereabouts
Soon found out he'd been shot in a gangster bout, at fourteen

I see you, struggling to get through
Wondering if you'll see the other side
Jenny you're an angel, tied up by the devil
Drifting out to sea with the offshore tide, because of gangster lies

The justice system is a con, built for following along
Fuck em all there's evil in their eyes
Jenny you're an angel, tied up by the devil
Drifting out to sea with the offshore tide, because of gangster lies
