Easy Mark
by: Nerf HerderYeah she... she's just a girl
Yeah she's just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
And she rides that midnight train goin' anywhere
She's an easy mark
Yeah he... he's just a boy
Yeah he's a big city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
And he catches that midnight train goin' anywhere
He's an easy mark
She lays down in the grass on Strawberry Hill
He is there smelling like nicotine and peanut butter
You gotta love her
Yeah she... she gets up off the floor
She says you can beat me all you want to
But I don't love you anymore
No I don't love you anymore
And she rides that midnight train goin' anywhere
She's an easy mark
I hate this world, this stupid world, this screwed up world
I hate this world, this fucking world
