Don't you ever wonder what happened
To those good boys in your class?
That boy who was always obsessed with
Getting that good grade
He lost his nerve
Hit a curve and couldn't get over it
That boy who was always doing track and field
Started doing crack
Got stuck on the wrong path
And now he can't play on any track or any field
That girl who was always in pageants
Starved herself
Only drank liquor with a big bottle of pills
And now you can visit her in Irving Park Cemetery
That girl who was Ms. Perfect
Started drinking then driving
Wanting to be rebellious
But she chose the wrong night and lost her life
That student who tried to make others happy
Fell into a deep depression
When he realized no amount of good deeds
Will ever make him happy
Do you ever wonder?
Do you?
