Lyrics A Boy - Leæther Strip

A Boy

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
