I knew this kid named Alberto
Funny style cat and his girl
looked like a turtle
Not Lisa Turtle just a turtle
High school track he ran the hurtle
His peers shed tears his senior
year when he got murdered
Now Alberto was your average day student
A student participated
in class never came late
And never true and
his family was picture perfect
His older sister was prom queen
His dad a decorator vet
from Vietnam scene
His mother was Dear Abby
an ordinary house wife
Like clock would always
have dinner on the table at five
But Alberto had a monster
he kept under his bed
And instead of letting it out
he just got a girlfriend
Instead she knew something
was funny she could tell
By his behavior or the way
he would wave his hand
When he would wave to her
she never though anything of it
And just shoved it in the closet
until the day the word dripped out
Like leaky faucet Alberto was homosexual
I ain't have nothing against it
But little Ronny Johnson and
all his football player friends
Did they always picking bad calling
him fag and such and such
And couldn't wait to get to gym
and really bust his nuts
The gym teacher never cared
he'd join in on the action
Make silly gestures and compare
him to Michael Jackson
Alberto couldn't take it
he just stopped showing up
And whenever he walked the malls
he just felt like throwing up
And at night he would cry and
cry and ask God why
Like God why the fuck
I had to be born this way
God would reply Son you got to show
them your more then just gay
See he had dreams of being a track
star until the night
The gay jokes went way to far Ronny
begged for his forgiveness
And invited him to a party
'cause his parents went away
And left him plenty of Bacardi
Alberto kindly accepted
He was finally accepted accepted
was all deception
And all unprotected it was a play
rite a scam to get him in
The right place verbally degrade
him and rearrange his pretty face
The plan would go swiftly
they started calling him Sissy
When plus turned into fifty
they beat him until he was dizzy
Now Alberto lie in blood while
his peers look on him in fear
He took his last breath
and passed away his senior year
Needless to say it was one big
tragedy and how was Ronny
Gonna explain it to his family
while they were on vacation
Taking in sights he got wasted
killed a kid that night
Don't be a saver but hate
the way they do
Just utilize the gifts god gave you
I knew this girl named Maria
right and talented
With aspirations to be a big
superstar what a great idea
Until she fell off and started
listening to her peers
Oh dear now Maria was your
typically obnoxious analytical
Head strong rebel flipping off
the principles single mother
Home structure she looked at
the baby brother while the moms work
Two jobs just to buy supper
pops was a struggling musician
Troubled man juggling heroin
addiction he overdosed
And left a notice of eviction
and cradle record in the kitchen
And a little angel with a keen
sense of sound who saw silence
In the record she found and
she would stay up late at night
Reciting songs to herself
in the pale moonlight
Writing wrongs that her pops
made promise to mom
She would never go the same route
turns out Karie Ann had other plans
Her inter man Ronny most popular
second best to nobody
Homecoming queen vs ugly duckling
and the story ends the same way
Okay Ronny's parents went away
for a couple of days
And told him no drinking what
the fuck was they thinking
Maria was oblivious that her
boyfriend had already been invited
So when Karie Ann asked
she got all excited like
Damn now I've got something
to look forward to
And so she thought Maria kindly accepted
She was finally accepted
except it was all bullshit
Now pay attention Karie Ann hated Maria
'Cause she could sing and
so she scored a bag of heroin
But the craziest thing was Maria
never touched drugs
She did that night and when
her man was getting beat
She was nowhere in sight now
her boyfriend lay in blood
And she had no idea Alberto
passed away and she got hooked
Her senior year needless to
say it was one big tragedy
And I hate to break it
but it doesn't end happily
A warm day in May
the sky was so beautiful
Karie Ann died in a crash
leaving the funeral
