Verse
C#m A
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
E B
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
C# A
No one ever understood a single word he said
E B
And they cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
C#m7 A E B

C#m A
But boys we've got a riser a riser in our midst
E B
He will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
C#m A
And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud
E B B
But now he's skippin' town and that riser's out for blood ■
C#m A7

'cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
C#m A
Don't stop headin' headin' south ■
E B
'cause they will understand the words that are pourin' from your mouth

C#m A
Then that boy he called his daddy to tell him what he did
E B
As the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid
C#m A
And then he told that old man he was never comin' back
E B B
To be cut down again in a town like that ■
C#m A
Then he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall
E B
But he's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
B A
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
E B B
All they comprehend is a fuckin' dollar sign ■
