You dreamed he'd shine like the sun
Now you son is set

Hey dad, grab another cigarette

Ashes fall like an unpaid debt

Come on everybody place your bets

**VERSE 2** (same as verse 1)
At twenty-one you found his gun
Hey dad, it's just begun
The ties that bind, they come undone
Come on everybody, just for fun
At twenty-four you found him on the floor
Decadence was all he wore
You do not deserve this
**CHORUS**
D Em C x4
Na na na na na
**VERSE 3**
At the funeral, read his eulogy
Insincere apologies
You do not deserve this
All the papers and press decide
Hey, just another suicide
You do not deserve this
**CHORUS**
