Waking up in the morning, what a funny dream he had
That he would live after all his great mishaps
Families and neighbors say that it's okay
There is more to life
But Chad, he hated motivations. Never got anyone anywhere
So today, he decided to control his destiny and intertwine it with others too
It would be fun, he said. And up on his way
He opened the drawer and brought out a black toy.
Into his pocket and out on the road, he sang a little song his parents wouldn't believe he learnt
A big building where children would go to learn and to play
A happy place for them all
Chad didn't like that they were happy without him
He sang the song again as he went into the building
No one noticed him, nor did they care
Their big mistake
With a loud cock and a big bang, everyone stopped laughing. They stopped being happy
Fears and tears as screams filled the air
By then, what went through everyone's mind were tiny steel stones
And the song went: happy little kids with their long and short legs
They better run away, faster than my bullets
Happy little kids better get out of the way of my gun
Because where it pointed, that's where it goes. No stopping it.
Red ink splashed on their shirts, shoes and floors
Happy kids went numb and unmoving
Truly, his family and neighbors were eventually right
There is more to life
Which was definitely death
Happy kids cried and the police came
Put your hands up, they said
He did just that
No regrets, a huge smile on his face
The police took him to a brand new home
With straight uptight bars and unbreakable brick walls
La la la, he sang again
He felt so happy, so alive
Run away, faster than my bullets
