One day in spring, it was gym cla** That was the only cla** Shane pa**ed He was scaling the rope Some cool kid cracked a joke Oh man, he was mad, it was like his ears smoked And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him And you could really feel his pain And then before you knew it All of a sudden there were these flames A fire started in the school That took a hundred lives away Life is real tough when your parents Don't want you Life can be tough when your girlfriend Don't want you Daisy was his last hope And she thought Shane a big joke "Well we'll see who's the big joke when That school goes up in smoke!" And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him And you could really feel his pain
And it was right then You started to see these, like, flames A fire started in the school That took a hundred lives away And oh whoa when he struck the match To make the big paycheck he said "Shananananananana" He thought, "We're all so wrong" And he cried alone and he went "Shananananananana" And the girl and the kids And all that his parents did, he said "Shananananananana" Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong" And with this he'd finally have won and baby now "Shananananananana" But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane "Shananananananana" And he ran and he and he ran... Life is real tough when just about no one at all wants you
