Troy Rule [VERSE 1] The seniors gathered to send the mountain boy to a social death But Troy turned into a silver blade with honor on his breath I watched the captains falling on the grass in the midday heat While Troy stood in the sun and watched the giants of the street The elite stars are fading and my old world is passing by Under the coldness of the Montana St Jude sky [VERSE 2] Principal Ben has turned his coat for medals and for fame Using Troys animal strength to win the urban game The school is terrified but the Principal is proud Trading in our safety for the cheering of the crowd The Troy Gang is at the top exposing every secret told Public shaming of the liars and their artificial gold [VERSE 3] I looked at Jinx for help but his eyes were fixed and bright Beaming with a fire in the middle of the night The man of logic is gone he is taken by the flame No longer the genius who was calling out my name He is following the predator with a righteous desperation Leaving the ivory towers for a new and dark foundation [CHORUS] My world is upside down and I am losing my place To the iron resolve in his scarred and handsome face The Steel is the king and the Sun is going down The beast is wearing medals in the middle of the town I am terrified now as I stand by his side With nowhere for a princess to run or to hide [VERSE 4] I saw it in the garage and I saw it in the hall Troy is not my pet and he is never going to fall I thought I could tame him I thought I was the light Bringing the scavenger out of the mountain night But Troy is the master he is in full control He has the Principal the gang and Jinx s soul [BRIDGE] I saw Jinx change I saw him fall in line Serving an ambition that is no longer mine The Mind and the Steel are finally aligned Leaving me and my ivory towers behind Troy is dangerous Troy is out of my reach He is the only lesson that the world cannot teach [OUTRO] Who are you Troy Jinx is not the same The school is burning I do not know your name He is in control I am terrified
