George

歌詞

George died in the 5th grade No one ever knew why He was out selling lemonade On the Fourth of July, and he died Sister Claire said that he was An angel on Earth She stood there and she told us She had clearly rehearsed every verse Of the lies that tie you down There are times when a man feels That it's him against the world There are time when a man steals From the love of his girl There are days when a beast dies Long before the gun And there are days when a crow flies Straight into the sun, to be done With the lies that tie you down I've forgotten my first love I haven't seen her since when There's a bum on the corner He thinks I'm his best friend, we pretend He says rapture is any day That's when God's coming down Althought perhaps he should stay away They'll run him right out of town, like a clown With the lies that tie you down The lies that tie you down
