Hanging on the corner by the Main Street laundromat Frankie's out of prison and he swears he's never going back Two nights later he's a murderer They caught him down the projects hiding at his girl's Hey there, Frankie. Is this all you've ever known to be? Davey was a smart kid raised on hate and fear A highschool dropout, he ain't going anywhere I ain't see Davey in a lot of days Last I heard he got put away Hey Davey. Davey, when you coming back home to me? God help me cause when I look around I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days Seamus made an effort to get out and beat his name He found himself a girl and he went West free of shame The town ain't gonna let him get away The last I heard he pa**ed away Seamus, I remember when you used to make us laugh God help me cause when I look around I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days I think you really ought to know right now You all had a small impact on me I think you really ought to know If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be me Nathan was a good kid that couldn't seem to find a way I'd see him from time to time and he'd smile to disguise the pain One March night he went and took his life When Julian told me he had tears in his eyes Hey Nathan. Don't you know your friends all miss your face? God help me cause when I look around I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days
