Ng Rippel Poet Lyric

Normal Boy

wandering around
streets of Massillon
snow now falling down

walking faster so feet don't freeze
attitude has fallen ten degrees

shoulda left sooner
in better humor
escape the boomers

should never have come down to this
strolling along in pants which are pissed

was born in this town
but life beat me down
liquor, drugs breakdowns

struggling with things misunderstood
has me homeless and up to no good

once was infantry
got the best of me
serving this country 

wasn't ready for what I saw
no matter who calls it Shock and Awe

walking faster so feet don't freeze
attitude has fallen ten degrees
should never have come down to this
strolling along in pants which are pissed

ready yesterday
wine got in my way
gotta move, can't stay

struggling with things misunderstood
has me homeless and up to no good
wasn't ready for what I saw
no matter who calls it Shock and Awe

once a normal boy in this town
now this old town don't want me around
this town don’t want me around
