I knew kid named Alberto Funny style cat and his girl looked like a Not Lisa Turtle a turtle High school track he ran the
His peers shed tears his senior year when he got Now Alberto was your average day A participated in class, never came late And never and his family was picture perfect
His sister was prom queen His dad a decorator vet from scene His mother was Dear Abby, an ordinary wife Like clock would have dinner on the table at five
But Alberto had a monster, he under his bed And instead of letting it out, he got a girlfriend Instead, she knew was funny she could tell By his behavior or the way he wave his hand
he would wave to her, she never though anything of it And just shoved it in the closet until the day the dripped out Like leaky faucet, was homosexual, I ain't have nothing against it But little Johnson and all his football player friends
Did they always picking bad him fag and such, and such And couldn't wait to get to gym and bust his nuts? The gym teacher never cared he'd join in on the Make silly gestures and compare him to Jackson
Alberto couldn't it, he just stopped showing up And whenever he walked the malls, he felt like throwing up And at night he would cry and cry, and ask God, Like God, why the I had to be born this way?
God reply, "Son you got to show them your more then just gay" See, he had dreams of being a track until the night The gay jokes went way to far Ronny begged for his And invited him to a party 'cause his went away
And left him plenty of Bacardi, Alberto kindly He was finally accepted, was all deception And all unprotected it was a play rite a to get him in The right place degrade him and rearrange his pretty face
The plan would go swiftly, they started calling him plus turned into fifty they beat him until he was dizzy Now, Alberto lie in while his peers look on him in fear He took his last breath and away his senior year
to say it was one big tragedy, and how was Ronny Gonna explain it to his family while were on vacation? in sights he got wasted killed a kid that night Don't be a saver, but hate the way do
Just the gifts god gave you I knew this girl named Maria and talented With aspirations to be a big superstar what a idea she fell off and started listening to her peers
Oh dear, now, Maria was your obnoxious analytical Head rebel flipping off the principles single mother Home structure she looked at the baby brother while the moms Two just to buy supper pops was a struggling musician
Troubled man, juggling addiction, he overdosed And left a notice of eviction and cradle record in the And a little angel a keen sense of sound who saw silence In the record she and she would stay up late at night
songs to herself in the pale moonlight Writing wrongs that her pops promise to mom She would never go the same route turns out, Karie Ann had plans Her inter man Ronny, popular, second best to nobody
Homecoming queen vs. ugly duckling and the story the same way Okay, Ronnys parents went for a couple of days And told him no drinking, what the fuck was thinking? Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend had already been
So, Karie Ann asked, she got all excited like Damn now, I've got to look forward to And so she thought, Maria kindly She was accepted, except it was all bullshit
Now pay attention, Karie Ann hated she could sing and so she scored a bag of heroin But the craziest thing was, Maria touched drugs She did that night and when her man was getting
She was nowhere in sight, now her boyfriend lay in And she had no Alberto passed away and she got hooked Her senior year, to say it was one big tragedy And I hate to it, but it doesn't end happily A warm day in May, the sky was so Ann died in a crash leaving the funeral
