Lyrics
I read about this kid named Johnny
He never ever got a chance to shine
Picked on spit on never got hit on
Playing with his playstation all the time
Then there was this fox named Roxie
A street corner girlie with a heart of gold
High heels fast deals, fist full of dollar bills
Daddy's little dolly sure broke the mold
Joining us then was a guy named Greggy
A rude little rocker who loved to drink
On his 21st, his thirst, almost put him in a hearst
Damn bright guy who never learned to think
What's up with the youth of a nation
Every single bloggers gotta story of pain
Is everybody liable burying the bible?
Take a step back as we circle the drain
(Chorus)
Let's ride the spiral, cause this ship is going down
How many Idols can we grab before we hit the ground?
Cover your eyes and enjoy this ride I'll see all you on otherside
Cause when it comes time for the dead to talk,
I'm affraid to say they're gonna have a bad case of lockjaw
This brings up bad boy Bobby
Mr. Trigger Finger who was good with guns
He laughed then cried after being in a drive by
Now he's in a wheelchair having his fun
Did you hear the one about gothic Girtie
Black masscara with a prozac grin
Always seeming tired till she lit a fire
Burning up the double wide she lived in
(Bridge)
All around playground the stories never end
Mom and Dad pay no attention to the words of children
