Nightmare on Elm Street
Bruce Carroll - ‘Elm Street’ (MP3 Sample)
Saturday night in Plainville, lots of local people go
To the downtown corner movie for a late night picture show
And it’s ninety mindless minutes of the best in blood and gore
They all come out laughing, just can’t wait for more
While on the other side of town a child four years of age
Huddles helpless in defense against his father’s rage
And as we spend our time and money for life’s moments’ cheapest thrills
In our city there’s an Elm Street where the nightmare is real
God have mercy on us please
For the times that you’ve shown the need
And we’ve refused to see
Give us all a heart like yours that grieves
For the lost souls on Elm Street who need to be released
Complacency’s a poison taken one drop at a time
Fools our minds in thinking that everything’s just fine
Desensitize our spirit with nothing left to feel
Till we never hurt for Elm Street where the nightmare is real
Lord you’ve got to send me where it is I need to go
Put me on their street Lord, cause they all need to know
That’s there’s a God who’s so much bigger than anything they’re going through
They need to know that there’s a place where nightmares don’t come true
