DESCRIPTION:
"The Worst Revenge"
At School they picked on Jimmy
At School they beat up Jimmy
At Home Jimmy Couldnt find a friend

So the boy went down to the record store
Five bucks in his pocket not much more
Bought a goth rock record from the bargin bin

Now his hair is long and nails are black
and hes got his self-esteem back
if they won't let you join em you gotta beat em

Looking for money in his step dads room
Found a 45 pistol and it made him feel cool
And now he know how he's gonna make em pay

Jimmy Went to School with a gun in his bag
They took his pride hes gonna take it back
But I wish someone wouldve told you
It gets better as you get older, and its best to live and fight another day

The teachers said Jimmy was a monster
the kids at school said Jimmy was a freak
where were they when he needed a friend

The Parents blamed rock n roll records
and the college proffessors blamed outlaw culture
where were they when Jimmy needed a helping hand

Where were they two months ago
In the locker room when they stole his clothes
When he fought back they sent him home

Or when the girl he liked was standing there
And they called him a fag made fun of his hair
and thats when he decided what he had to do

Now nobody mourns at Jimmy's grave
Things they have happened nothing changed
But I wish someone wouldve told ya
it gets better as you get older and its always best to fight another day

At school they picked on me
At school they beat me up
At home I couldnt find a friend

So I went down to the record store
Five bucks in my pocket not much more
Bought a punk rock record from the bargain bin

Two fingers in the air and a black leather jacket
Gave me a reason to fight back
I found myself in the three chords of those songs

And when I heard your story on the news tonight
I shook my head and I wiped my eyes
For I know its by the grace of god go I
