The Scientist

“The Scientist”

[v;1;]
The scientist, he had not one friend.
The people of the village only made fun.
And so one day he took all his tools,
And decided to make a friend of a gun.
He gripped the handle tight,
Pulled the trigger with all his might.

[chorus1;]
Nobody said it would be this hard,
Nobody wanted it to be.
And they all pushed him to the edge;
It was the only choice he could see.
But they’ll all remember him,
And friend that last held his hand,
Until the very end.

[v;2;]
Couple years passed by.
No one could even begin to speak.
Couple men searched his house.
& what they found, made them weak.
Pictures and lists of what he’d done.
The people he’d helped, just for fun.

[chorus2;]
The lists he had stored away,
And what he had done.
They never knew till he was gone,
Until he befriended a gun.
People he had helped,
Injuries he’d healed.
Money he had given,
Wounds that have been sealed.

[v;3;]
They all were holding hands now,
Absentmindedly, of course.
The way they treated him was unjust,
And they showed no remorse.
Just for being different,
they were all afraid.
