He lived in a town where the children grew up up up

And like the population, the graves went down down down

He went to school where rumors were made up up up

So he always kept his head, his eyes down down down

His teachers told him to listen up up up

But after class they would put him down down down

The kids at school beat him up up up

They would trash his things and throw them down down down

The price of the drugs went up up up

The money in his pocket went down down down

His detention time went up up up

The councilor told him to stop being so down down down

His dad yelled at him to bring his grades up up up

And only beat him harder when they went down down down

One day he decided to give up up up

So he made the pills go down down down

The sun kept rising up up up

As his body was buried down down down

His father never looked up up up

As the children's tears fell down down down

He died in a town where he never grew up up up

And like the graves, the population went down down down
