He was always such a nice boy
  The quiet one
  With good intentions
  He was down for his brother
  Respectful to his mother
  A good boy
  But good don't get attention
  One kid with a promise
  The brightest kid in school
  He's not a fool
  Reading books about science and smart stuff
  It's not enough, no
  Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa
    He's not invisible anymore
  With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse
  Since he walked through that classroom door
  He's all over primetime news
    Mary's got the same size hands
  As Marilyn Monroe
  She put her fingers in the imprints
  And danced Chinese Theater Show
  She coulda been a movie star
  Never got the chance to go that far
  Her life was stole
  Now we'll never know
    No no no no oh
    They were crying to the camera
  Said he never fitted in
  He wasn't welcomed
  He showed up the parties
  We was hanging in
  Some guys puttin' him down
  Bullying him round round
  Now I wish I woulda talked to him
  Gave him the time of day
  Not turn away
  If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far
  He might have stayed at home
  Playing angry chords on his guitar
    He's not invisible anymore
  With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
  Since he walked through that classroom door
  Everybody knows his name
    Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)
  As Marilyn Monroe
  She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
