The Ballad

The last selection in the ballgame
Does never get a pass
Not appreciated just his first name
He's the scapegoat of the class

There are no friends to cheer him up, and
No girls, no sweet romance
And it's impossible to expand
When you never get a second chance

Do you know
Who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery

He's not going to the school-prom
He said he had the flu
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom
I'm safer here with you

She told her son someday they'll all be
Sorry for mistreating you
Don't be afraid my son and trust me
You'll be someone they will look up to

Do you know
Who's that guy, who's all alone?
And do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery
Do you care to see?

Do you know
Who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery

Do you know
Who's that guy, who's all alone?
And do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery

Do you know
Who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery, yeah
