[Verse 1] They took him away, said it’d be for the best, Put him in a room like all the rest. Same clothes, same rules, the same hollow stare, They stripped his red cap; no one would care. [Verse 2] The fights came faster, his fists hit hard, Every swing a shield, every bruise a guard. Each day felt colder, his anger grew tight, Like a flame that consumed all the dark in his sight. [Pre-chorus] (Oh, little boy) The boy was mad. (Oh, little child) They took his red cap. [Chorus] It always seemed weird! Grown people and their hands, I didn't ask to be here, won't follow commands. My skin is smashed and slammed, sometimes even punched, I often get smacked, and it leaves a mark. you humiliated me, and took my red cap. [Verse 3] He sat by the window, the moon his friend, Wondering how it began and where it would end. Dreams of escape would flicker and fade, A boy in the system that the world betrayed. [Verse 4] He watched the others, cold and the same, No one a person, just shadows with names. And as the nights stretched, heavy and still, He learned that anger could tranquil the chill. [Pre-chorus] (Oh, little boy) The boy was mad. (Oh, little child) They took his red cap. [Chorus] It always seemed weird! Grown people and their hands, I didn't ask to be here, won't follow commands. My skin is smashed and slammed, sometimes even punched, I often get smacked, and it leaves a mark. you humiliated me, and took my red cap. [Instrumental] [Bridge] The days felt endless, a blur of gray, With nothing to fight for and nothing to say. "They don’t know me, and I won’t let them in, This world’s just a game, and I play to win." [Chorus] It always seemed weird! Grown people and their hands, I didn't ask to be here, won't follow commands. My skin is smashed and slammed, sometimes even punched, I often get smacked, and it leaves a mark. you humiliated me, and took my red cap. [Instrumental] It always seemed weird! Grown people and their hands, I didn't ask to be here, won't follow commands. My skin is smashed and slammed, sometimes even punched, I often get smacked, and it leaves a mark. you humiliated me, and took my red cap. [Instrumental] [Outro] "They don’t know me, and I won’t let them in, This world’s just a game, and I play to win."
