The song is called WASTED YEARS, it's the one at the top.
Tell me what you think. Link your showoff thread and I'll reply.
[Little Poem Preface]
This is the story of a man who lies on the street,
playin the same beat,
over and over again as people drop quarters to his feet,
in the rain and sleet,
on his old two drums and his notepad,
clad and faded,
the man sits alone, without a home, lost soul never made it
And faces pass by, he remembers how he shunned the basics,
and went his own way,
and then he wonders to himself, why the right got him stuck here in the first place,
[CHORUS]
Where did I go,
What ever happened to me,
Where did I, ever lose my way,
where did I fall,
where did my life come to be,
not where I, wanted it to stay,
oooh, oh,
[Verse]
He coulda been somethin,
better than what He is, he coulda been one hell of a kid,
If he'd a stuck to straight way,
coulda be on the stage, instead of livin in the alley under freeways,
he coulda been a contender,
musics best member,
the fire amongst all the embers,
but now he stays cold in december,
why he didn't think before, he don't even remember,
He was smarter then they knew man,
a genius wit the best plan, slippin outta both hands,
if he just shut up, and did what they said,
then he'd be somewhere, instead of now dead,
But he never went their way, made their list,
took their scorn, took their shit,
walkin through this hell,
He may be lost in life, but at least he ain't lost in himself,
[CHORUS]
Where did I go,
What ever happened to me,
Where did I ever lose my way,
where did I fall,
where did my life come to be,
not where I wanted it to stay,
[VERSE]
Class of 06, you couldn't tell man,
cuz he was never at the ceremony then damn,
Now it's years later,
and he' still livin alone, because this mad man never made it,
Never fell in love, not got his muse,
always so alone, now without his fuse,
now he sits at home, writin up his songs,
all day long, as the cold drifts till the morn,
why was he ever born, wit such abilities,
if he could never show the world, his insanity,
his emotion, or his hope,
his feelings may translate into rope, gripped around his throat,
Hang man today, dead man tommorow,
water poured down, but he drowned in sorrow,
this is the path he chose,
and his life broke, yet he never touched the tight rope, why?
[CHORUS]
Where did I go,
What ever happened to me,
Where did I ever get to lose my way,
where did I fall,
where did my life come to be,
not where I wanted it to stay,
[VERSE]
I sometimes wonder about my future when I listen to music,
soon as a put on an album to fine tune it and view it,
wouldn't it be cool standin wit a mic in my hand,
maybe no band, but man, God damn, it'd be grand,
To think, Instead of walkin in and outta some office,
I'd be speakin to a generation, ready to cross in,
occasionally I look at the future I walk in,
with the first two outcomes, comin out as coffin,
The first guy, diein in some gutter, alone man,
the second guy, losin all his friends to hang back,
and that's what I never wanna become,
dead to the world, dead as any other bum,
But sometimes you gotta risk it, time you just believe,
times where God looks, and says just let it be,
times you gotta think about the world as it shifts,
realizing, maybe there actually is a reason you exist man,
[CHORUS]
Where did I go,
What ever happened to me,
Where did I ever get to lose my way,
where did I fall,
where did my life come to be,
