He was always
such a nice boy
The quiet one
with good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
but good don't get attention
One kid with a promise
The brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Readin' books about science
and smart stuff
It's not enough no
'cause smart don't
make you cool woah
He's not invisible anymore
with his father's nine
and a broken fuse
Since he walked through
that classroom door
he's all over primetime news
Mary's got the
same size hands
as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers
in the imprints
at Mann's Chinese
Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance
to go that far
Her life was stole oh oh
Now we'll never know
No no no no oh
They were cryin' to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcomed
He showed up the parties
we was hangin' in
Some guys puttin' him down
bullyin' him round round
Now I wish I woulda
talked to him
gave him the time of day
not turn away
If I woulda been the one
to maybe go this far
He might have stayed at home
playin' angry chords
on his guitar
He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants
and his legs in chains
Since he walked through
that classroom door
everybody knows his name
Mary's got the
same size hands
as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers
in the imprints
at Mann's Chinese
Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance
to go that far
Her life was stole oh oh
Now we'll never know
Greg was always gettin' net
from 20 feet away
He had a try out with the Sixers
couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna
see him slam
flyin' high as Kobe can
His life was stole oh oh
Now we'll never know
Now we'll never never
never never know
Stole
Woah yeah yeah yeah hey
Mary's got the
