Papa Hoodlum, The Hard Truth – 17 Lyrics

Artist: Papa Hoodlum, The Hard Truth
Song: 17

There were 17 killed on the LA streets last night
A mother shot her daughter in Topeka, Kansas
Doctor says she’s gonna be all right
My best friend’s daddy ran away with a movie queen

We rented all her movies last Saturday night, yeah
She’s got the sweetest smile you’ve ever seen
They’ll tell you to hit the floor
Or make a break for the nearest door

But nothing ever happens round here anymore
I’m always asking how it got this way
To gеt to the other side is all thеy say
They told us from their horse

To take the world by force
But nothing ever happens round here
Anymore
Commercial said I need another three or four of these

Working several jobs ain’t all that easy
So send a check or Visa number, if you please
Russ has been drinking, so he turned it in at eight
No one’s eating in Ghana, riot troops in Java

And the movie at the Panorama’s not so great
The lawyers went to war
The Feds are breaking down their door
But nothing ever happens round here anymore

I’m always wondering who will go today
‘Cause that’s the way it is, is all they say
I wish that I’d been born with looks and a little more
But nothing ever happens round here anymore

They told me I could go far
Said I got something called potential
They told me I’m a track star
But they also said that nothing comes for free

A blonde from St. Mary’s took a leap from the 52
Her note said, Mama I already miss you
But you know B-pluses for me just won’t do
First day tomorrow, don’t you know I can’t be late

I won’t get paid for another month
So Cassie’s trip to the doctor’s gonna have to wait
We’ll be closing up the store
I wish there was a little more

But nothing ever happens round here. .
I don’t think I have too much more to say
I’m 17, but I think I’ll do okay
The kings are falling on their swords

But me, I’m a little bored
‘Cause nothing ever happens round here
Need a lift and a little more money
Nothing happens round here

Six hundred channels and a whole lotta nothing
Nothing happens rounds here
Anymore
