Boy in Need

He cannot help it that he’s 30 years old
He spent his money on a midnight show
And it all had a profound effect on him
Everyone around him 's paper thin
Thin
He can’t afford to leave
He listens to his needs
It makes him feel so deep
He’s a boy in need
He remembers he was twelve years old
A champion everyway
Or so he was told
And the path it seemed so clear ahead of him
Now it’s just a race he cannot win.
Win
He can’t afford to leave
He listens to his needs
It makes him feel so deep
He’s a boy in need
Other people they don’t know
Life’s just a one man show
Your kid has turned to grow
And when it comes he won’t say no
But he can’t say yes until that day.
Just to think he will be 60 years old
Life not wasted, but nothing to show
And he’ll sit down at a table just for him
And think about it, all that could have been.
Been
He can’t afford to leave
He listens to his needs
He wants to play the lead
He’s a boy in need.
Need. Need
