To The Men
She was poor
She was just thirteen
She was twelve a month ago
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn't have anywhere to go
She was young
She didn't know the rules
She didn't think she could say, "No"
Thought it was love
And it would be forever
In a locker room after school
She couldn't tell anybody
Couldn't tell her mom or dad
She didn't know what she should do
All she knew was that it was bad
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn't have anywhere to go
She told a friend
Who had been down that road
Told a friend that she was late
And her friend said she had no choice
Have a baby or get out of the state
And the girl didn't have much money
And the boy had disappeared
For a week she said she wasn't feeling good
As she rolled up in a ball of fear
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn't have anywhere to go
There's a place in the rundown part of town
A place young girls stay far from
She could go and take her chances
In an hour the deed be done
To the men in their brown suits
To the men passing laws
I just have a simple question
To the men without flaws
Have you seen a young girl dying?
Have you seen her bleed to death?
Have you seen a young girl dying?
Have you seen her take her final breath?
Her final breath
