The little boy who wasn’t there Has playground dust all in his hair Some other kids are gathered around When he tries to rise, they knock him down. The little boy who wasn’t there Has no defenders anywhere He doesn’t cry out, doesn’t speak He knows the others think him weak. The little boy who wasn’t there Acted sad but nobody cared. School blamed both boys in a fight Did not find out who was right. The little boy walks home alone But nowhere is a safety zone. They catch him just a block away They call him *** they call him gay. The little boy can’t tell his Ma. She’ll beat him and then tell his Pa. They’ll both look at him like a freak. Two more times he mustn’t speak. The little boy goes to his room And listens to the voice of doom. Depression has become his friend. He only wants this all to end.

LITTLE BOY WHO WASN'T THERE
The little boy who wasn’t there Has playground dust all in his hair Some other kids are gathered around When he tries to rise, they knock him down. The little boy who wasn’t there Has no defenders anywhere He doesn’t cry out, doesn’t speak He knows the others think him weak. The little boy who wasn’t there Acted sad but nobody cared. School blamed both boys in a fight Did not find out who was right. The little boy walks home alone But nowhere is a safety zone. They catch him just a block away They call him *** they call him gay. The little boy can’t tell his Ma. She’ll beat him and then tell his Pa. They’ll both look at him like a freak. Two more times he mustn’t speak. The little boy goes to his room And listens to the voice of doom. Depression has become his friend. He only wants this all to end.
