A spandex dress and fishnet hoseIn the pouring rain it was bitter coldThey found her there lying in the streetWhere she'd been turning tricks since seventeenAnd no one knew her nameNo one gave a second thought when they put her in a county grave
ChorusShe was someone's child, a precious miracleShe made someone smile, born beautifulEven though she heard a different drumAnd walked a different mileShe was someone's child
Shady schemes and crooked dealsHe would tell you lies with nerves of steelIt's just white collar crime no one gets hurtHe says if you're that dumb it's just what you deserveNow he can't stand the smellOr the light that's always on in his eight by ten foot cellChorus
They stripped him bare and beat him downAnd gifted him with a thorny crownWho was this man this rebelious jewWho died for me, who died for you
ChorusShe was someone's child, a precious miracleShe made someone smile, born beautifulEven though she heard a different drumAnd walked a different mileShe was someone's child
Shady schemes and crooked dealsHe would tell you lies with nerves of steelIt's just white collar crime no one gets hurtHe says if you're that dumb it's just what you deserveNow he can't stand the smellOr the light that's always on in his eight by ten foot cellChorus
They stripped him bare and beat him downAnd gifted him with a thorny crownWho was this man this rebelious jewWho died for me, who died for you
