Grew up in an industrial town
Two blocks away from the industrial sounds
Three generations in the same old home
Seven kids mum feels so alone
Six of them looked like they had a chance to do something with their lives
Little Jeanie had a mind of her own, but it wasn't a very good one

And we try not to be mean
To our little lead poisoned Jean
Little lead poisoned Jean

No special school no one to understand
Her teachers tried to use the back of their hands
She can't compute any information

She likes pictures on the screen
She's my little lead poisoned Jean
Little lead poisoned Jean

One winters day it was the end of June
Her parents put together two and two
She wasn't normal, no she's not the same
The legal battle set the town aflame
The company would be responsible for every time that Jeannie screams
Pollution so obscene
Little lead poisoned Jean
And now the family's rich beyond belief
That sort of money's still a shallow relief
Little Jeannie's got a new PlayStation so she

Stares at the screen
She's my little lead poisoned Jean
Little lead poisoned Jean
