A Sad Silence - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

two years and extra days, a block away he’d head to hang

same corner, neighborhood, his friends, the gang

two years and extra days, a bigger kid would crack his eye

no real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why

the bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid

when he told the gang to shut their mouths, the gang obeyed

you’ve got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around

no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

both his eyes would twitch

the left one was always black

his lips they never moved

they stayed still with each attack

his ears were always ringing,

in his head he’d hear a hum

and all the kids on the corner

knew what it was from

well then one day it happened, he took his daily crack

his eyes rolled up, like yesterday, he started falling back

the kids that watch this everyday, now watched him hit the ground

no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

and no one made a sound

both his eyes would twitch

the left one was always black

his lips they never moved

they stayed still with each

attack his ears were always ringing,

in his head he’d hear a hum

and all the kids on the corner

knew what it was from

no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

a sad silent situation, now he’s not around

no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

a sad silent situation, now he’s not around

well no one spoke and no one moved and no one made a sound

a sad silent situation he’s not a-he's not around

noone spoke noone moved he’s not around

a sad silent situation now he’s not around
