A Sad Silence Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang 

Same corner, neighborhood, his friends the gang 

Two years and extra days, a bigger kid would crack his eye 

No real reason, explanation 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 

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound 

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 ringing 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 took his daily crack 

His eyes rolled up, like yesterday, he started falling back 

The kids that watch this everyday now watched him hit the ground 

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound 

And no one made a sound 

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 ringing in his head he'd hear a hum 

And all the kids on the corner knew what it was from 

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound 

A sad silent situation, now he's not around 

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound 

A sad silent situation, now he's not around 

No one spoke, no one moved and no one made a sound 

A sad silent situation, now he's not around, he's not around 

No one spoke, no one moved and no one made a sound 

A sad silent situation, now he's not around
