Wonder Boy
Hey...
Let's write a story.
A fucking story.
About a boy who could do no wrong
He left a trail of good wishes
Kept promises and fulfilled dreams
He wandered the skies
And guided our minds among the clouds
And then one day,
He'll stop ticking, stop kicking
Stop fighting his way to the top
A boy that stood alone and did it all
Has fallen to his cause
A vengeance life has taken
A destiny that unfolds
Another way to translate misfortune
Another euphamism takes hold
Because nothing can stop this bleeding
This convulsing of the body's liquid gold
Never again will there be this boy wonder
This Wonder Boy
To take our sorrows away
Day after day
We take advantage of youth that's gone astray
And somehow we'll forget the never-ending passage
What we could've done to stop his passing
Because we're too concerned
Concerned for what we can see
What we can feel
What's three feet in front of us
In our own fucking houses
Wonder Boy
Oh, Wonder Boy
Why haven't you visited?
Why have you been gone for so long?
Has someone done harm to you?
Can a civilization do you so wrong?
And with your signature lullaby
You'll sing your children away
While the Wonder Boy drifts
Floating through an endless system
And he'll ask himself,
"Were these people worth my time?"
