the ballad of Alexis

Mr.officer,do you remember me?No.It's ok.
Anyway,Let it be.
Don't you recall that bright red day
when you set me free...from my life?
Thought the world was made of hope and fun
skateboarding,friends and my guitar.
I never realised how wrong I was.When
I found out there wasn't any greener grass.
Now,people rush into the streets,yelling
holding signs with my name.
And justice is what they claim.
There is fire and ruins,a battlefield.
for the truth is forever sealed.
Mr.policeman,can't you see?
I never liked the system,anyway that was me.
I admit,I made mistakes.
That's what being a teenager takes.
Was I that bad?Did I deserved that bullet in my chest?
Just as your lawyer says?
But I think I deserved the future that lied ahead.
It wasn't your right...to shot away my life.
Now students from all over,come and scream at you.
They demand just one word that's true.
They want to kill you, too.
They throw rocks to the cops.
They rebel in schools and write my name
on the walls.
'cause it was lots of unfair.
The pain that my friends will bear.
And my mom...why did you make her cry?
Did I so deserved to die?
Mr.Killer,are you proud enough?
Is there any guilt inside your heart?
My friends will seek revenge,they are more than
anyone would guess.
And they care for me,I hope they will never stop.
For soon you'll tell the truth forwhat happened
Mr.cop.

wow....

thats deep.....*BREZZY*
