Just another story about going too far
They'd buy you a drink and get you laid, what's wrong with that?
Selective memory
Well, the guys at work seemed okay
He never meant to hit her hard, but he's like that when he's had too much
When they're walking together, seems they own the town
You know, ain't the way they told you to, it's hard to see
Come on just try it, it's only a smoke
Fade to gray
Expensive cars and expensive clothes, do you ever think of what they do?
Don't turn around, don't ask questions, just walk
She's staring at the TV
Why'd they have more money than you
Just another story about going too far
And the things you taught her, how to be, it's like you told her nothing
Just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far
But the peer pressure's starting now, too bad, she had it made
You can smell it on his breath, feel it in his touch
Well, the kid's at school, she's getting good grades
Dinner's not on the table, seems mother's not able
At night they're out, shakin' people down
Just another story about going too far
Just another story about going too far
Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something
But hey, who's gonna talk, you are their alibi
Ain't gonna kill you, so she takes a toke
It's just another story about going too far
