Did not see it coming
that yellow rumbling machine
ripping through brick, glass and stone
had to find a new home
in a new town
in an old tent

Did not see it coming
that tall gray wall
ripping through the school yard
life gets a little more hard
but the books were too much to afford either way
not on what father makes anyway

I did not see it coming
I did not see it coming
Cast a stone
Break a bone
Die alone
Bloody
Hoping the world will hear

Did not see it coming
sneaky bullet
that hot hard lead ripping through
scar tissue, cartilage and bone
found itself a new home
in a lung
vacant

I did not see it coming
I DID NOT SEE IT COMING
Without a home
These sins atoned
Pray the Lord
Pull a cord
Bloody
Hoping rent is cheaper in heaven
