Guys like skinny girls

Semi-literate and only nineteen
with pretty eyes and a nice rack
a growing interest in the dangers
of men and alcohol
and drugs and sex
and rock'n'roll about it all

No plans for the future near or far
the weight she slowly is gaining
keeps her awake and worried enough
she needs another strong drink
so she doesn't have to think
about the men not looking anymore

She turns on the television
and lights up a joint
thinks about finding a job
thinks about going to school
thinks of being poor and alone
and goes out to get more beer.
