Fourteen years old,
standing downtown.
Waiting for a bus,
a bus to take me home.
Skater pa**ing by,
just a kid hanging out,
happens to go past,
a couple of a**holes.
Tough guy takes a step,
couple feet to the left.
Runs into the skater,
intentionally.
Then he grabs the kid,
drags him to the side,
shoves him in an alley.
I hear a sickening thud.
Looking to dish out abuse,
a**hole finds his lame excuse.
At half his size it's a safe bet,
the skater doesn't pose a threat.
A worm who thinks he is a man,
beats on those he knows he can.
Displaced anger - pa** it on.
Your actions live after you're gone.
Skater reappears,
covered in his own blood.
Crying, runs away.
Tough guy thinks he's cool.
Lady tells the a**hole,
what she thinks of him.
A cop who's pa**ing by,
tells her to shut up.
Looking to dish out abuse,
Cop has found his lame excuse.
At half his size it's a safe bet,
the lady doesn't pose a threat.
Cop, he thinks he is a man.
Beats on those he knows he can.
Displaced anger - pa** it on.
Your actions live after you're gone.
Will it matter when the oceans rise?
Will it matter when you're fossilized?
Will it matter when the sun expands,
and then collapses like a sick old man?
Will it matter when you're exhumed?
When they find and excavate your tomb,
and your skull's displayed for all to see,
in a museum in another galaxy?
Will it matter when time and space,
collapse and reset the human race,
and more than all we've seen and done,
back again to event one?
