a sad silence
Singer:mighty mighty bosstones, the
a block away he'd head to hang. same corner
a bigger kid would black his eye. no real reason
and every day no one knew why. the bigger kid was crazy
that made the gang afraid. when he told the gang to shut their mouths
the gang obeyed. you've got to have a place to be
you need a place to hang around. so no one spoke
no one made a sound. both his eyes would twitch
the left one was always black. his lips they never moved
they stayed still with each attack. his ears were always ringing
in his head he'd hear a hum. and all the kids on the corner knew what it was from. then one day it happened
he took his daily crack. his eyes rolled up
he started falling back. the kids that watched this every day now watched him hit the ground. and no one spoke
no one made a sound. and no one made a sound. both his eyes would twitch
the left one was always black. his lips they never moved
they stayed still with each attack. his ears were always ringing
in his head he'd hear a hum. and all the kids on the corner knew what it was from. no one spoke
no one made a sound. a sad silent situation
