lyrics

I never Really did see
The marshmallow man
All the kids told me ‘bout it
Said it was amazing man
Lizzy was a deadbeat
You don’t understand
The girl had everything
Had the world up in her hand
She started smoking meth though
She got it from a friend
Lizzy didn’t have any friends
In the ambulance in the end
Jimmy was a rock star but
He never finished school
Traded his guitar
For a job down at the pool
all the kids in this town
Can only go so far
Before life wears you down
Like a faded scar-
Sing it out loud
Timmy was a big shot
They called him big Tim
There wasn’t anything
Big Tim couldn’t win
Then he got drunk once– DUI
Five years later you wouldn't even
Know the same guy- Cause he's been
Working at the filling station
Why does it feel like
An infestation– in my eyes
Every time I get out of here
To my surprise– I find there is
No getting out of here– its in my eyes
I never really did see
The marshmallow man
All the kids told me ‘bout it
Said you’d never believe it man
Just to see him up there
Doing what he did
There wasn’t anyone
Who could ever stop him
sing it out loud
Something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call
Something strange
And it don’t look good
Who you gonna call
All the kids in this town
Can only go so far
before life wears you down
like a faded scar
Before life will drag on you
Like a cigar
Before life will run you down
Like a beat up rusted car
Sing it out loud
Turn it up and
have another beer
We ain’t never getting’
Out of here
Turn it up– go on
Have another beer
we ain't never
getting out of here
no, no, no
Billy was a retard but
He always tried real hard
His old man would to beat him
cause hid his report cards
Then he joined the army-
Afghanistan
Got blowed up by an IED
Buried in the sand
Billy got fragged yeah
Before he was a man
The kid used to stutter all the time
Cause he just didn’t understand
He told him be a man
Go and be a man
Marshmallow man
