Peaches and Crime — Never Be a Good Girl lyrics

Lyrics

I’ll tell you where they make the shirts that we all buy in stores
In factories where women work and bosses lock the doors
They pay the good girls pennies and pack them in real tight
And nobody will make a scene until they’re set a light
So never be a good girl «does-just-what-she-should» girl
The kind of life that that would be don’t please me at all
Remember that a good girl «does-just-what-she-should» girl is just setting
herself up to take the fall
A good girl never makes a fuss and she never complains
And bosses keep that near to mind when profits on their brains
They cram the girls in tightly upon the building’s crown
So when the flames start rising up there’s only one way down
The problem with good girls is that good girls are cheap and when you’ve naught
left but your faith you’ve naught left do but leap
So girls if you think goodness is a point of heavy pride remember the Triangle
girls and remember how they died
