At 13 they start the game
Lured in by the promise of fortune and fame
But soon they can’t hide the black eyes
And the pain every time she cries
Out on the streets day and night
Too lonely and scared to fight
Since daddy kept her for himself
Now she has no hope for anything else
PRE-CHORUS:
If it's not your problem, you don’t care
If it’s not your daughter, it’s not your affair
There is a woman everywhere
Who's got the red-light scars to bear
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
CHORUS:
Not for sale
I say
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not for sale
We're not for sale!
In and out of the downtown station
Handcuffs, they dull the sensation
They all smile as he shuts the door
Another one down for a quick score
You know nobody knows, nobody cares
It’s what’s coming, so it's gotta be fair
Johns get off, pimps get paid
Girls are too much work to save
