[00:09.12]	Man us kids, we can be so cruel
[00:13.20]	Teen armies never suffer no fools
[00:16.48]	But Benny was a sucker
[00:18.84]	Man he never really fit in
[00:22.01]	Poor Benny had to do his time
[00:26.01]	Just breathing was a capital crime
[00:29.35]	Man we made him suffer
[00:31.78]	Benny never really knew why
[00:35.34]	This time I think we’ve pushed too far
[00:39.06]	This time we’ve opened up a scar
[00:42.54]	This time we’ve pushed him to the edge
[00:46.07]	This time it’s really gone straight to his head
[00:49.80]	Benny’s on the rooftop, man
[00:52.48]	I think he might’ve jumped this time
[00:55.77]	You didn’t see the look in his eye
[00:58.74]	I think we’ve pushed him way too far
[01:02.32]	Benny’s on the rooftop, man
[01:05.15]	I think he might’ve jumped this time
[01:08.43]	You didn’t see the look in his eye
[01:11.45]	I think we’ve pushed him way too far
[01:15.54]	Way too far
[01:18.00]	So come on Benny step on back from that ledge
[01:21.84]	We didn’t mean a word that we said
[01:25.26]	Yeah we thought your skin was thicker
[01:28.91]	Than the lines that we fed
[01:31.81]	I saw him rocking on the edge
[01:35.03]	With the years of anger, isolation
[01:38.28]	Running through his head
[01:40.85]	Benny don’t step off that ledge
[01:44.82]	For the world will drown in your river running red
[01:48.37]	Benny’s on the rooftop, man
[01:51.05]	I think he might’ve jumped this time
[01:54.34]	You didn’t see the look in his eye
[01:57.34]	I think we’ve pushed him way too far
[02:00.67]	No, no
[02:02.13]	Benny’s on the rooftop, man
[02:04.75]	I think he might’ve jumped this time

[02:11.10]	Man, I think we’ve pushed him way too far
