Tommy

You never listened to advice

You thought you was their ruler

But things came back striking you down

You fell across the schoolyard, yeah

You didn't see it strike you down

Didn't see behind you

Down

Tommy was a little boy

A little boy with no answers

When asked he cannot answer

But he sure is trying

Trying

There was nothing you couldn't do

You acted like a fool, Tom

But when the time comes, Tommy in time

You'll be swept under the new rug, yeah

You... You didn't see what was in store for you

Tommy broke down in a ball

Tommy was a little boy

A little boy with no answers

When asked he cannot answer

The scenes change

Tommy never ever does

But he's silent like a woolen sock

He's trying harder than he never ever has

To fill the space where his voice should be

He don't remember his name

Nothing is the same

The same tommy remains

Silent

Silent like a woolen sock

Tommy was a little boy

A little boy with no answers

When asked he cannot answer

But he sure is trying

Trying

Tommy was a sad little boy

Tommy was a sad little boy

Tommy was a sad little boy

Tommy was a sad little boy

Boohoo

A sad little boy
