the flash, the heat,
a little drama in the street.
sister's got a brand new set of friends.
Bridge: F E D B
little, tiny men with big, black boots and bright white laces
and the reddest pairs of braces they could find.
reckless in the head.
add in the beer and crystal meth'
and baby's on the way to screwing up her life.
Chorus: A B
here in beautiful Huntington Beach,
there's blood spilled in the streets.
who couldn't see this coming
in "America's Safest City?"
Verse 2:
the flash, the heat,
a black man facedown in the street.
sister's got a whole new kind of mess.
Bridge 2:
the flash, the heat,
a black man facedown in the street.
sister's got a whole new kind of mess.
her big, strong boyfriend packing heat to prove he was a man.
i'm sure he's adjusting well to prison life.
and since she lost that boyfriend to the big, black boys up in the pen',
baby cranks away what's left of her mind.

[E]Ne[G]xt[E] t[G]hi[F#]ng:B C D 3x B C D A
what's wrong?
do you feel numb?
i can't understand, you're slurring your speech.
what's wrong?
what's going on?
how long's it been since you've been to sleep?
repeat chorus
Verse 3:
this flash, the heat,
the Southern California scene.
on the outside, all is well and innocent.
Bridge 3:
with not enough to do and more than enough to spend
and the children running wild means trouble's coming.
baby's gaining weight again.
her teeth have stopped grinding,
but her drama ends in anonymity...
