Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!
At school he was about six feet seven long
He was a target where kids fired their sarcasm
And his ankles were so thin he could hardly walk
And he sure had a beautiful face and his butt knew how to talk
Yes the art guy was the closest friend he had
Still he manipulated him like a kid with a badge
A red white and blue badge
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!
These colours are the colours of his state
Which show a tendency that lead towards his fate
The red portrays the blood spilled on his gown
And the blue is for the water where he drowned
The white portrays the third question of conscience
Oh Mr Neitzche and his philosophies can wait
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!
