EP : Rims of Doom (2011)
One of Just Jack’s several storytelling songs about people ending up being used by others.
This song could be seen as a more sympathetic counterpart to the cynical “Starz In Ther Eyes” he is most known for.

[Verse 1]
I feel sorry for the Dads
Little baby looks like a ho
And why does she look like a ho?
Cause the man over there said so
And I feel sorry for the Mums
Princess in the skimpiest garms
You can see all the bones in her arms
I think it's time to go home
Go home
Go home
[Verse 2]
I feel sorry for the dreams
Cause the dreams always get the blame
And never get a chance to shine
Cause they only exist in her mind
And I feel sorry for her friends
Cause the jealousy's eating them up
Hometown boys and girls
Never quite making the cut...
So they'll be staying at home
At home
At home
[Verse 3]
I feel sorry for the land
In the cold of the dawn
Cradling our heroin
Broken and torn
No soul was sold
It was only a loan
Now she'll be making a claim
And taking it home
Home
Home
[Bridge]x4
She falls asleep so slow
That the eye can't follow
[Verse 4]
I feel sorry for the dreams
Cause the dreams always get the blame
And never get a chance to shine
Cause they only exist in her mind
And I feel glad for her friends
Though the jealousy's eating them up
Hometown boys and girls
Never quite making the cut...
So they'll be staying at home
At home
At home
