When this song came out I actually cried when I saw the video. It's sad, really. :/
He was always such a nice boy
A 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
Brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It's not enough, no
Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa 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 brown town news
Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
Put her fingers in the imprints
At Mann's Chinese Theater Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
No no no no, oh
They were crying to the cameras
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcome
He showed up to the parties
He was hanging in
Some guys were puttin' him down
Bullying him round (round round round)
Now I wish I woulda talked to him
Give 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 (oohhh)
Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
Put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
At Mann's Chinese Theater Show
(She coulda been a movie star)
She coulda been a movie
star, (oh)
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know, oh)
Greg was always getting
net from 20 feet away (20
feet away)
Had a try out with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)
Now we're never gonna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole)
Now we'll never know
Now we'll never never never know
Stole, stole (Stole)
stole, stole, stole
Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mary's got the same size
hands (Same size hands)
As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)
Put her fingers in the imprints
At Mann's Chinese Theater Show
(She was gonna be a star)
She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)
Never got the chance to go that
far (Never got the chance)
Her life was stole (Stole, stole)
(Now we'll never never know, no)
Greg was always getting net
from 20 feet away (He had
game, oh)
Had a try out with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him
slam (Never see him)
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole, oh)
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know)
Oh no no no
Yeah their lives were stole
now we'll never know
stole, stole, stole
we were here all together yesterday
stole, stole, stole
