This kid's sitting at the train station, trying to maintain shit
Rain in his face, crying, his brain's flipped.

His mother telling him he need to smarten his act up,
But schools just a place where we go to get bashed up.
Self-esteem smashed up, brutally battered,
He's thrown in his hat at everything that truthfully mattered.
Abused and in tatters, tryin to find his way to the front line,
But his peers hold him back everyday that it's crunch time.

It's like he knows what he wants, but he's never been focused.

Before he ends up drunk with a blade to his wrists, yeah.

For one of them parties where the private school chicks at.
