The Boy you killed

He was just fourteen

The Boy you chose to kill

The top of his class

The Boy you chose to kill

Liked to wear red

The Boy you chose to kill

He played the drums, but not very well

The Boy you chose to kill

He cried out didn’t he?

The Boy you chose to kill

You said he deserved it

The Boy you chose to kill

Just doing God’s work you said

On the Boy you chose to kill

You couldn’t fix him, nobody could

The Boy you chose to kill

He didn’t need fixing

The Boy you killed

For who he chose to kiss

He kissed a boy

The Boy you killed

Killed for who he chose to kiss
