Just Another Story lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father comes home 'cos his money's run out
Seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout
Dinner's not on the table, seems mother's not able
She's staring at the TV
You can smell it on his breath, feel it in his touch
He never meant to hit her hard
But he's like that when he's had too much

[Chorus]
It's just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far

[Verse 2]
Well the kid's at school, she's getting good grades
But the peer pressure's starting now - too bad, she had it made
Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something, you know, ain't the way they told you to
It's hard to see
The things you taught her, how to be, it's like you told her nothing
Selective memory
Come on just try it, it's just a smoke, ain't gonna kill you
So she takes a toke
Fade to grey

[Chorus]
It's just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well the guys at work seemed OK, they'd buy you a drink, get you laid, what's wrong with that?
Why'd they have more money than you?
Expensive cars, expensive clothes
D'you ever think of what they do?
At night they're out, shaking people down, when they're walking together seems they own the town
But hey, who's gonna talk, you are their alibi, don't turn around, don't ask questions, just walk

[Chorus]
It's just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far
It's just another story about going too far

[Instrumental Outro]
