Lyrics: Everclear. World Of Noise. Pennsylvania Is....

jackson met a girl
in a valley town
they fell into a teenage love she'd grow to hate
he's in prison now
since he beat her down
he got her pregnant and she made it go away
hey
hey
hey
hey
pennsylvania

I got a card today
from a girl I know
she used to live alone in philadelphia
she had to leave the state
for a choice she made
she says she feels just like a hostage in her home
hey
hey
hey
hey
pennsylvania

you can close your eyes
you can fall and die
you can hope your laws will make it go away
you can close your eyes
but you can't make it go away

I just got a call from my uncle mike
he said he left his wife
and he's not going back
said she changed her mind
about a desire child
I asked him if he wants a placemat or a wife
hey
hey
hey
hey
pennsylvania is wrong!
