our fault a boy shot up the school today he made an awful mess they say and everyone just stood around spilling their blood on the ground and mr. police man just frowned a-askin everyone around "Susie Jane what did you see?" and when the turn was turned to me I told them what I saw that day I saw a boy's life fall away and in its place a body lay and now its blamed on my decay It should be blamed on you and you and you know in your heart i'm true and when he turned his head away he cried and sighed and said okay but in his heart I know he knew that I meant him and I meant you and I meant me and I meant the old boys and girls who torment he who left his soul at home that day and when he died it fell away and then he asked again of me "Again, young man, what did you see?" and I replied in my clear way "A boy shot up my school today." and he just looked again and sighed and turned his head and cried and cried and when he turned again to we he asked, "Now just what did you see?" and we kept saying through and through that it was our fault, me and you and that warm night we went to sleep not winding down or counting sheep for that one night we knew inside because of us a boy had died and then he got his gun and made the entire world indeed afraid afraid of what, we still don't know and when this boy has ceased to grow he may one day forget his crime by forthelove |
