Tony - Patty Griffin

I know this isn't audio sift but this song touched me.

Does anyone remember Tony
A quiet boy, little over weight
He had breasts like a girl
When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely
I'd stare over his shoulder
At a map of the world

He always finished all his homework
Raised his hand in homeroom
For the the morning attendance
And the pledge intelligence to the gloom

(chorus)
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
Think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror and saw
A little faggot starin back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

I hated every day of high school
It's funny, I guess you did too
Funny how I never knew
There I was sitting right behind you

They wrote it in the local rag
Death comes to the local fag
I guess you finally stopped believing
That any hope would ever find you
Well I know that story,
I was sitting right behind you

(chorus)
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
Think I might do a little dying today
Looked in the mirror and saw
A little faggot starin' back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

(chorus)
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
Think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror and saw
That little faggot starin' back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

Hey Tony, what's so good about dyin'
