He was always such a nice boy
The 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
The 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
He's not invisible anymore
with his father nine and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over primetime news
Chorus:
Mary's got the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints at Mann's Chinese heater show
She could've been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Oh, now we'll never know
(stole, stole)
They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcome
He showed up to the parties we was hangin' in
Some guys were puttin' him down
Bullying him round (round round round)
Now I wish I would've talked to him
Given him the time of day and i turned away
If I would've been the one
Maybe he wouldn't have gone this far
Stayed at home playing the 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
Chorus
Mary's got the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints at Mann's
Chinese Theater Show
She could have been a movie star
But never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Oh, now we'll never know
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away
(20 feet away)
He had a tryout with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gunna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole
Now we'll never know
now we'll never never know
(Stole, Stole)
Stole
(Stole, Stole)
Ooh, yeah
Chorus
Mary's got the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints at Mann's
Chinese Theater Show (she was gunna be a star)
She could have been a movie star
But never got the chance to go that far (never never did)
Her live was stole
Oh, now we'll never know
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away
(He had game)
Had a tryout with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gunna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole
Now we'll never know
now we'll never never know
oh no no no no
yea their lives were stole
now we'll never know (stole)
we were here all together yesterday
(stole,stole, stole)
The quiet one
With good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
