On the corner of main street,
where sweethearts meet
and meatheads greet
through fistfight-till-we-bleed,
no one knows there's more than one
kind of life to lead.

Some'd rather risk a beating
for stealing purses, snatching cars
or selling rotten caviar
with paint
than work for honest pay.

All they'll ever think,
when one offers decent plans,
is there has to be another way.
