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
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It´s not enough, no
Cause smart don´t make you cool, whoa
He´s not invisible anymore
With his Father´s 9 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 Manns Chinese Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we´ll never know
No no no no oh
They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn´t welcomed
He showed up the parties
We was hanging in
Some guys puttin´ him down
Bullying 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
Playing 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 (Oh)
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
At Manns Chinese Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star (She coulda been a movie star, oh)
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we´ll never know
(Now we´ll never know, oh)
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)
He had a try out with the Sixers
Couldn´t wait for Saturday (Saturday)
Now we´re never gonna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole)

Her life was stole (Stole, stole)
