Mr. Wilmington

You dreamed he'd shine like the sun Now your son is set Hey dad, grab another cigarette Ashes
fall like an unpaid debt Come on everybody place your bets in 7th grade he dug his grave
Trying to be cool with the kids hey Follow everything they say You might fit in if you
misbehave At 15 he promised he'd be clean You didnt bend but you sure did lean You do not
deserve this Hey Mr. Wilmington, Yeah i heard about your son It's hard enough to hide your
scars In smalltown USA Sweet Mr. Wilmington Yeah I heard about your son Don't blame yourself,
you raised him right Remember that when you cant sleep at night At 21 you found his gun Hey
dad, its just begun The ties that bind, they come undone Come on everybody just for fun At 24
you found him on the floor Decadence was all wore At the funeral, read his euelogy Insincere
apologies You do not deserve this All the papers and press decide Hey, just another suicide
you do not deserve this
