Оригинален текст
Its another day at school and hes just walking out the door
Got his rucksack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor.
Always late but when hes questioned he cant think of what to say.
Hides the bruises from the teachers hoping that they go away
Even though his mum and dad they both got problems of their own.
Caught in a catch 22 but hed still rather be at home
Cries himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed
But everythings still the same.
CHORUS
(But didnt you say) You always said that I should speak up
mmmm
But it seems like all the things you said to me before meant nothing at all.
Because
I keep telling you that Johnnys hittin me,
thats why Im late for school.
(But you never listen) Instead you always seem to end
up blaming me for things I didnt do. (For what its worth)
I didnt even wanna tell you anything in case it made things worse.
(Just so you know) Every time, I say that Johnnys hittin me.
Hey mum and dad it hurts.
Everyday keeps on repeating like a record on replay
Slowly getting off the bus with Johnny waiting at the gates.
Like a friend hell smile and wave at him.
While calling out his name put his arm around his neck
Whisper now gimme all your change
Too afraid to make a scene or plead with him to let him go.
He just takes whatevers coming feels the pain with every blow.
Tries in vain to make himself be heard as soon as he gets home.
But everythings still the same.
CHORUS (X2)
