Day At School

Shadow Man

I get up another day, sky rains on my parade

I get in line to fly on a bus to my school high

I don't really wanna go cause all the people know

I'm different than they are and they'll show just how far

Evil really goes, every step that I take

Is another backwards in their world of endless rage

Minds that are small, weak, and horribly tainted

With the dark thoughts of making me really hate them



But I tell myself

Life's OK

I don't need to worry

I don't need to be afraid

Cause it's just

Another day

At my school

Another day

At school



I get to another class that I'm comin in dead last

The teacher looks at me, I can tell she wants to frame me

Get fifty detentions, hundred warnings, in-school suspension

But didn't serve them cause the teachers wouldn't even let me get in

The boys and girls hate me now, I don't know exactly why

The world is cruel, so if it is then so will I

I can't tell what's wrong or right anymore in my mind

So I will do what I believe is right



But I tell myself

Life's OK

I don't need to worry

I don't need to be afraid

Cause it's just

Another day

At my school

Another day

At school



At my locker

Time to take my right

At my locker

Throw away the knife

Screw the system

I don't give anymore

I've got a gun

Time to settle the score



Now I'm one of them, the fuckin gangster crew

They accepted me as one of their friendly few

But why did they, after so much pain

Finally decide, that I've at long last changed

To someone they can trust, someone they can love?

It must be fake, I must be dreamin of

Something unreal, I don't even accept it

They didn't love me from the start

Why should I believe them?



My mind is burning, full of rage and fear

I shouldn't think this, bringing up the rear

I pull it out, I can't believe a thing I've heard

I
