Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out Day-in, ooh ooh Day-out, ooh ooh ooh She was born in a handbag, love left on a doorstep What she lacks is a backup, nothing seems to make a dent Gonna find her some money honey, try to pay her rent That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out Day-in, ooh ooh Day-out, ooh ooh ooh First thing she learns is she's a citizen, Some things they turn out right When you're under the USA Someone rings a bell and it's all over She's going out her way Stealing for that one good rush Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out She could use a little money She's hangin' on his arms like a cheap suit She's got no money, honey, she's on the other side Oh come on little baby Late night, big town, police, shake down Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out She's got a ticket to nowhere She's gonna take a train ride Nobody knows her, or knows her name She's in the pocket of a home boy Ooh she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow Spin the grail spin the drug She's gonna make them well aware She's an angry gal Day-in, day-out Stay in, fade out Suddenly there's angels everywhere Angels in a ton of sound And they shootin' her down Shootin' her with video-drugs-bullets and promises
