**INTRO**   /  /  /  /   x2

**VERSE**
                  
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
       
In seventh grade he dug his grave
  
Trying to be cool with the cool kids hey
            
  Follow everything they say
      
You might fit in if you misbehave
   
At sixteen he promised he'd be clean
    
You didn't bend, but you sure did lean
                  
   You do not deserve this

**CHORUS**

Hey Mr. Wilmington

Yeah, I heard about your son
                  
It's hard enough to hide your scars

In smalltown USA

Sweet Mr. Wilmington

Yeah I read about your son
                         
Don't blame yourself, you raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

**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**


             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**
