Grim Facts [3:25] - Flush the Fashion, 1980
	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.
