This used to be mine you know Plenty of time and kindness overflowed It was all right, then overnight I was grown out of my happy home Oh yeah Transferred from school to school Special enrollment, gifted programs suck I was the one, the prodigal son who got stuck My parents were out of luck

Out of the blue to black One day my dad had a massive heart attack It wasn't my fault He ate too much salt all his life He's survived by his charming wife and son
Give the human mind some extra time Get a dark cloud down the road Give a genius son nowhere to run Get a bomb that can't explode A bomb that can't explode
Give the human mind some extra time Get a dark cloud down the road Give a genius son nowhere to run Get a bomb that can't explode
