1
I knew this kid named Alberto
2
Funny style cat
3
And his girl looked like a turtle
4
Not Lisa Turtle, just a turtle
5
High school track
6
He ran the hurdle
7
His peers she'd tears senior year when he got murdered
8
Now Alberto was your average A student
9
Participated in class,
10
Never came late
11
And never truant
12
His family was picture perfect
13
His older sister was prom queen
14
His dad a decorated vet from the Vietnam team
15
His mother was Dear Abby,
16
An ordinary house wife
17
Like clockwork, always had dinner on the table at 5
18
But Alberto had a monster he kept under his bed
19
Instead of letting it out,
20
He just got a girlfriend instead
21
She knew something was funny
22
Shecould tell by his behavior
23
Or the way he flamboyantly shook his hand
24
When he would wave to her
25
She thought nothing of it
26
And just shoved it in the closet
27
Until the day that word dripped out like leaky faucet
28
Alberto was homosexual
29
I ain't have nothing against it
30
But little Ronnie Johnson and all his football player friends did
31
They'd always pick and nag
32
Call him "fag" and such and such
33
And couldn't wait to get to gym so they could really bust his nuts
34
The gym teacher never cared
35
He'd just join in on the action
36
He'd make silly gestures
37
And compared him to Micheal Jackson
38
Alberto couldn't take it
39
He'd just stop showing up and whenever he walked them halls
40
He just felt like throwin' up
41
And night he would cry and cry and ask "God why?"
42
Like "God, why the fuck'd I have to be born this way?"
43
God would reply, "Son, you've gotta show 'em you're more than gay"
44
Cause he had dreams to be a track star
45
Until that warm April night
46
Them gay jokes went way too far
47
Ronnie begged for his forgiveness
48
And invited him to a party
49
Cause his parents went away
50
And left him plenty of Bacardi
51
Alberto kindly accepted
52
He was finally accepted
53
Except it was all deception
54
And left them all unprotected
55
It was a plan Ronnie had scammed
56
To get him in the right place
57
Verbally degrade and rearrange his pretty face
58
The plan would go swiftly
59
They started calling him sissy
60
One punch turned into fifty
61
They beat him till he was dizzy
62
Now Alberto lie in blood
63
While his peers look on in fear
64
He took his last breath
65
And passed away his senior year
66
Needless to say
67
It was one big tragedy
68
And how was Ronnie gonna explain to his family,
69
While they were on vacation taking in sights
70
He got wasted and killed a kid that night
71
Don't be a slave and behave the way they do,
72
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you [x4]
73
I knew this girl named Maria
74
Bright and talented
75
With aspirations to be a
76
Big superstar
77
What a great idea
78
Until she fell off and started to listening to her peers
79
Oh dear!
80
Now Maria was your typical obnoxious
81
Analytical head strong rebel
82
Flippin' off the principal
83
Single mother home structure
84
She looked after baby brother
85
While mom worked two jobs
86
Just to buy supper
87
Pops was a struggling musician
88
Troubled man,
89
Juggling family and heroin addiction
90
He overdosed and left a notice of eviction
91
And a crate of records on the table in the kitchen
92
And a little angel with a keen sense of sound
93
Who saw silence in the records she found
94
And she would stay up late at night
95
Reciting songs to herself
96
Under pale moonlight
97
Righting wrongs that her pops made,
98
Promised her mom she'd never go that same route
99
Turns out
100
Carrie Anne had other plans
101
Her and her man Ronnie most popular,
102
Second best to nobody
103
Homecoming queen versus ugly duckling
104
And the story ends the same way
105
Ok, Ronnie's parents went away for a couple of days
106
And told him "No Drinking"
107
What the fuck were they thinking?
108
Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend had already been invited
109
So when Carrie Anne asked
110
She got all excited
111
Like "damn now I got something to look forward to"
112
Or so she thought
113
Maria kindly accepted,
114
Except it was all bullshit
115
Not pay attention,
116
Carrie Anne hated Maria cause she could sing
117
So she scored a bag of heroin
118
But the craziest thing was
119
Maria never touched drugs, she did that night
120
And when her man was getting beat
121
She was nowhere in sight
122
Now her boyfriend lie in blood
123
And she had no idea
124
Alberto passed away and she got hooked her senior year
125
Needless to say
126
It was one one big tragedy
127
And I hate to break it but
128
It doesn't end happily
129
A warm day in May,
130
The sky was so beautiful
131
Carrie Anne died in a crash leaving the funeral
