A Day In The Life Of A Boy

Up, down spin around, smash a vase and dent the cars, hit my head, fall down dead, Just faking, I’m doing bad at my decision making.
I hear the door open, that must be my mum, I better say I went for a run, I shoved everything out of the way, wrote a note and I was off for the day.
Lucky for me Mum didn’t notice a thing; I was off with a little cough, I knew I wouldn’t be backing off.
But that wasn’t the case when I became grounded for ten years, despairing to say the least just me and my tears.
