Lyrics

Teddy sniffing glue he was twelve years old Fell from the roof on East Two-nine Cathy was eleven when she pulled the plug On twenty six reds and a bottle of wine Bobby got leukemia, fourteen years old He looked like sixty five when he died He was a friend of mine Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends and just died G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan Sly in Vietnam, bullet in the head Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed They were two more friends of mine (two more friends that died) Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends and they died Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room Bobby hung himself from a cell in The Tombs Judy jumped in front of a subway train Eddie got slit in the jugular vein And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others And I salute you brother Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof Tony thought that his rage was just some goof But Herbie sure gave Tony some, some bitchen proof Hey, Herbie said, Tony, can you fly? But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends and they died Brian got busted on a narco rap He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers He said, hey, I know it's dangerous But it sure beats Riker's But the next day he got offed By the very same bikers Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Teddy sniffing glue he was twelve years old Fell from the roof on East Two-nine Cathy was eleven when she pulled the plug On twenty six reds and a bottle of wine Bobby got leukemia, fourteen years old He looked like sixty five when he died He was a friend of mine Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten They died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan Sly in Vietnam, took a bullet in the head Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed They were two more friends of mine, I miss 'em, they died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends and they died Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs Judy jumped in front of a subway train Eddie got slit in the jugular vein And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others This song is for you my brother Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died
