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 dont 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 Mann's Chinese Theatre show

Never got the chance to go that far

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 to the parties

He 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 Mann's Chinese Theatre show

She coulda been a movie star

Never got the chance to go that far

Her life was stole

Now we'll never know

(Now we'll never know, oh)
