The boy's got problems
   The boy's got stress
   The boys' a .38 hidden in his desk
   The boy's got a chickie
   With four months to go
   Grim Facts - every parent better know
   The girl's a deadly teaser
   Wants to do a private show
   She's got a hundred thousand fantasies
   She wants the band to know
   She likes to brush across my Levis
   She likes to watch him grow
   Grim Facts - every parent better know
   Grim Facts - every parent better know
  
   Red lights
   Gang fights
   Brewing in the heat
   Cop cars
   Gay bars
   On your precious street
   That ain't so neat
  
   Sister's on the street now
   Looking for some Joe
   Only got about an hour
   To pay for her new nose
   She gets a hundred for her body
   A nickel for her soul
   These are grim facts - every parent better know
   Grim facts - every parent better know
  
   Red lights
   Gang fights
   Brewing in the heat
   Cop cars
   Gay bars
   On your precious street
   That ain't so neat
  
   And I'm feeling itchy
   Got a fire down below
   I'm a walkin' loaded time bomb
   Just about to blow
   Tries to slide inside my pockets
   But it's strictly SRO
   Grim facts - every parent better know
   Grim facts - every parent better know
  
   Red lights
   Gang fights
   Brewing in the heat
   Cop cars
   Gay bars
   On your precious street
   That ain't so neat
  
   Mmm Grim facts, you know, growing all the time
   Mmm Grim facts, real grim Yeah.
