Jimmy Two Bad

Lyrics

Now here's one of those sad stories We hear from time to time So common it's nearly boring But at the same time sublime

Why did it have to happen to Jimmy? Why did it have to happen to him? Why did it have to happen to him?

Jimmy just wanted to try drugs Now he has AIDS for his pains Broke into a house, got caught by the cops Sent out to prison and raped in jail

Now it's too late Nothing left to do Now it's gone It's all done It's goodbye Now he gets treatment From you and me Life is cruel It is strange The tricks it plays On us As we go on, on our ways As we go on, on our ways

Jim, Jim, Jimmy too bad Jimmy too bad Jimmy too bad Jim, Jimmy too bad Jimmy too bad

Some are lucky Some blessed Some anointed Some caressed

But some, many ? let us Live alone, some like dogs Without a house to call home That's what'll happen to Jimmy That's what'll become of him When he gets out of the pen Unless he goes before then Jimmy too bad Goes before then Jimmy, Jimmy too bad Jim, Jim Jim, Jim, Jimmy too bad
