Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
and before long the little boy got surrounded.
He dropped his gun, so went the glory,
and this is the way I have to end this story,
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
the cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
just another case about the wrong path,
Straight and narrow or your soul gets cast.
