about

this is a departure from my usual stuff

lyrics

Toys:

hes sixteen
he dont know what he’s doing
he’s got his tail between
what will drive him to ruin

and if its not worth fighting for
why do you do it
and if its not worth fighting for
what are you doing here

its not right
but that hasn’t stopped him before
because if everybody’s doing it
why can’t i?

but if its not worth fighting for
what are you doing here
if its not worth fighting for
so what are you doing here

will you be there
when i get out
oh will you be there
im sorry about...
all this

young man
with a gun in his hand
hes a got a fist in his pocket
one of two things to grab

hes okay
tell his mom dont you tell her
he’s got a note under, pass
giving it to the teller

will you be there
when they’re coming for me
oh will you be there
im sorry that this is how it has to be

they’re pulling at the alarm
dont you know where you are
can you see what you’re doing boy?

see what you’ve done
i bet you dont think that guns
were meant to be toys
