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

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 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
