You never listened to advice
You thought you was their ruler
But things came back striking you down
You fell across the schoolyard, yeah
You didn't see it strike you down
Didn't see behind you
Down
Tommy was a little boy
A little boy with no answers
When asked he cannot answer
Yeah
But he sure is trying
Trying
There was nothing you couldn't do
You acted like a fool, Tom
But when the time comes, Tommy in time
You'll be swept under the new rug, yeah
You... You didn't see what was in store for you
Tommy broke down in a ball
Tommy was a little boy
A little boy with no answers
When asked he cannot answer
The scenes change
Tommy never ever does
But he's silent like a woolen sock
He's trying harder than he never ever has
To fill the space where his voice should be
He don't remember his name
Nothing is the same
The same tommy remains
Silent
Silent like a woollen sock
Tommy was a little boy
A little boy with no answers
When asked he cannot answer
Yeah
But he sure is trying
Trying
Tommy was a sad little boy
Tommy was a sad little boy
Tommy was a sad little boy
Tommy was a sad little boy
Boohoo
A sad little boy
