Ballad to the Bullied

Once upon a time there was a Boy named Marcus, a boy named Travis They liked each other more than many were used to Shared lunches, lent shoulders, long glances One day they were surrounded by a couple of bullies Teeth were broken, ugly words spoken Have you ever dreamed of a world where things like This don't happen again and again? We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away Have you heard the story of that sweet young couple A girl named Patricia, a guy named Corey? When they met each other it was expected she'd brush him off Eyebrows went up at her, fists clenched in front of him One day he was invited by her so-called best friends Abusing and breaking him, leaving him no choice But forever dreamin' of a world where things like This don't happen again and again We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away Saw the news about this early bloomer Unstable feelings, careless adventures Sent pictures that were solely for her lover's trusted eyes Many gained insight, laughter 'bout every byte They took from her then spat on our poor pure creature Never had worries, never felt hatred Now she wants to leave for a world where things like This don't happen again and again We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away We make them Cowards none too shy Stand up and run, look how they flail Up and away You'll see for Them this ain't fun, words gon' be More than a gun, we will prevail They're up and away (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it! (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it! (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it! (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it! (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it! (Up and away, yeah, yeah) sing it!
