Bully
Tom Flannery
I shot him in the head with my Daddy's gun
then turned him over...made sure he was the one
thank god almighty....at last I'm free
there's nobody else that's gonna bully me
Five foot nothing pock marks on my face
just another weakling to debase
Mr football man with the new Humvee
you're dead now so you can't bully me
He begged for his life...he got down on one knee
like he was asking to marry me
I told him there's one thing I'd guarantee
my smile would be the last thing he'd see
Teachers they all looked the other way
other kids laughed...but they ain't laughing today
I saw his parents crying on TV
they knew damn well their son...well he was bullying me
Was gonna kill myself but I thought "what for?
why should I mess up my mother's floor?"
today I got reasons to live galore
I ain't gonna be afraid anymore
cops come knocking on the bedroom door
said they wanted to talk...so I said "what for?"
they said I killed a boy in the first degree
I said "that may be true but he was bullying me"
Life in prison with no parole
once I was halved but now I'm whole
o longer the soul of an amputee
there ain't nobody alive who's gonna bully me
He begged for his life...he got down on one knee
like he was asking to marry me
I told him there's one thing I'd guarantee
my smile would be the last thing he'd see
