A Boy - Leæther Strip

Standing on a corner in the dirty part of town

Wearing close to nothing while the rain is pouring down

Thinking on his past and of why he ended here

Mom and Dad they kicked him out when they learned he was queer

A boy, a life, a home, a future

At 14 he was on the street with nothing but his name

He quickly learned what he should do to live through all his pain

The men who picked him up didn’t care about the boy

When the deed was done he was like a broken toy

A boy, a life, a home, a future

After months of rape and tears he had to get away

It is very hard to always be the hunters' prey

He really tried to get away from all this fucking harm

But all he ended up with was a needle in his arm

A boy, a life, a home, a future

Standing on a corner in the dirty part of town

Wearing close to nothing while the rain is pouring down

Thinking on his past and of why he ended here

Mom and Dad they kicked him out when they learned he was queer

A boy, a life, a home, a future
