A Sad Silence Lyrics

The song A Sad Silence is performed by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones in the album named Question the Answers in the year 1994 .

Two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang
Same corncer, neighborhood, his friends, the gang
Two years and extra days, a bigger kid would black his eye
No real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why

The bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid
When he told the gang to shut their mouths the gang obeyed
You've got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around
So no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

CHORUS
Both his eyes would twitch
The left one was always black
His lips they never moved
They stayed still with each attack
His ears were always rngining
In his head he'd hear a hum
And all the kids on the corner
Knew what it was from

Then one day it happened, he tooks his daily crack
His eyes rolled up, llike yesterday, he started falling back
The kids that watch this everyday now watched him hit the ground
And no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
Amd no one made a sound

CHORUS

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
A sad silent situation, now he's not around
