This is the story of a man
He wouldn't go by your command
This is the story of a boy
Who would refuse to be your toy
You shove him down
He gets up
Push him around
Soon he's back again

You want him to conform to your whim
He does not fit the mold you've made for him
Society has turned it's back
But only to the boy dressed in black
Placed under your hold
This world has become so cold
He does not ask your trust
Merely your acceptance
You cannot trust him
Refuse to accept him
They claim him as unreliable
He knew your hate was undeniable

This is the story of a man
He wouldn't go by your command
This is the story of a boy
Who would refuse to be your toy
You shove him down
He gets up
Push him around
Soon he's back again

Your hate for him is so intense
To this boy it doesn't make sense
You're his only father
Yet you won't even bother
To try and understand
Take him and lead him by the hand
He needed you once
And you were there
He needs you now
And you cannot be found
Your guidance requested
And access to it denied

This is the story of a man
He wouldn't go by your command
This is the story of a boy
Who would refuse to be your toy
You shove him down
He gets up
Push him around
Soon he's back again

Refusing to be what you wanted
He was shunned
Did not change his ways
He was ignored
No one understood him
He was ridiculed
You tried to force him to fit
Tried to scrape around the edges
Take off a peice here
Add one there
This boy is no longer with us
He is no longer here

This was the story of a man
Who utterly refused your command
This was the story of a boy
Who refused to be your toy
You shoved him down
He used to get up
Pushed him around
He won't be back again

You shoved too hard and now he's gone
Never to return
This was his story
That of a determined being
Refusing to conform
He couldn't be what you wanted
You destroyed him
Wouldn't be what you desired
You abolished him
Now he's gone from this world
And you are happy

This was the story of a man
Who utterly refused your command
This was the story of a boy
Who refused to be your toy
You shoved him down
He used to get up
Pushed him around
And it cost his life

This was his story
And you're to blame
