Benny's On The Rooftop

Man us kids, we can be so cruel

Teen armies never suffered no fools

But Benny was a sucker

Man he never really fit in

Poor Benny had to do his time

Just breathing was a capital crime

Man we made him suffer

Benny never really knew why


This time I think we’ve pushed too far

This time we’ve opened up a scar

This time we’ve pushed him to the edge

This time it’s really gone straight to his head


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he might’ve jumped this time

You didn’t see the look in his eye

I think we’ve pushed him way too far


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he might’ve jumped this time

You didn’t see the look in his eye

I think we’ve pushed him way too far

Way too far


So come on Benny step on back from that ledge

‘Cause we didn’t mean a word that we said

Yeah we thought your skin was thicker

Than the lines that we fed


I saw him rocking on the edge

With the years of anger, isolation

Running through his head

Nah, Benny don’t step off that ledge

For the world will drown in your river running red


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he might’ve jumped this time

You didn’t see the look in his eye

I think we’ve pushed him way too far


No, no


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he might’ve jumped this time

You didn’t see the look in his eye

I think we’ve pushed him way too far


Yeah, he might’ve jumped this time

He might’ve jumped this time

He might’ve jumped this time

Benny might’ve jumped this time


Yeah, he might’ve jumped this time

He might’ve jumped this time

Benny might’ve jumped this time

I think he might’ve jumped this time


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he really jumped this time

You didn’t see the look in his eye

I think we’ve pushed him way too far


Benny’s on the rooftop man

I think he really jumped this time

I think he really jumped this time

He really jumped this time

He really jumped this time
