The Ballad

The Ballad
The last selection in the ballgame
Does never get a pass
\"Not appreciated's\" just his first name
He's the scapegoat of the class
There are no friends to cheer him up, and
No girls, no sweet romance
It's impossible to expand
When you never get a second chance

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery
He's not going to the school-pram
He said he had the flu
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom
- \"I'm safer here with you\"
She told her son - \"Someday they'll all be
Sorry for mistreating you
Don't be affraid my son and trust me
You'll be someone they will look up to\"

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery...
Do you care to see?
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery
'The Ballad' by Millencolin tells the story of a boy who is constantly being left out and mistreated by his peers. He is the last one picked in the ballgame, not appreciated, and labeled as a scapegoat...
