Tommy

Tommy boy he got a gun
God knows where he got it from
He got it back in 61
Man that boys in trouble
He's been left here on his own
Tommy boy he is all alone
He makes him worse, should not been born
And is still awake
He learned to fight not to run
He's not scared of anyone
It seems so long, so long ago
Where has he to go?
The police are on Tommy's back
They say he has been doing crack
He says it gets his mind on track
Now his lifes a wreck
Tommy boy is now doing time
He says he didnt commit the crime
Jack says hes no friend of mine
He's got no real friends
He learned to fight not to run
He's not scared of anyone
It seems so long, so long ago
Where has he to go?
(x2)
That boys in deep deep trouble
He's sinking like a stone
Yeah he's going nowhere
That boys in deep deep trouble
He's got no place to go
And he's going nowhere
(x2)
