lyrics

She can't breathe but she can inhale
She's illiterate, can't you tell?
And she's keeping the things she can't sell
She's diseased but she'll still inhale

We'll suppress a sigh, we may be dreaming but we're still capable of dying
But we'll get by; we'll wipe the weariness from our dreary eyes
If you're unaware, we're already waiting

And they're taking Jeanette straight to jail
For ten years she'll rot in her cell
She's still dreaming of shoes on sale
Breathe easy; inhale

We'll suppress a sigh, we may be dreaming but we're still capable of dying
But we'll get by; we'll wipe the weariness from our dreary eyes
If you're unaware, we're already waiting

She's broken, battered, beaten, bruised, and I don't know her name

It doesn't matter how you say it; the message stays the same.
