One of a Million

I'm looking at a little girl

Stringy hair hanging in her face

Standing there with a dazed expression



Nobody knows exactly what it was

They're all sure it was something

Her ripped clothes are barely hangin on



Tattered and soiled

Almost losing what's underneath

Like an old teddy bear



There's still a fire in those bloodshot eyes

Can't imagine why

'Cause she's got nothin left



She envisions a better life

But she's killin the one she's got

An everyday casualty
