What drove you to hold up that store?
Was it drugs you needed the money for?
The cop just did what he had to do
When he said drop the gun, he was talking to you.

You were living your life way too fast
And we all knew it couldn't last
Nobody expected it to end this way
Nothing prepared us for this day.

What possessed you to pick up that gun?
Were you looking for kicks, just having fun?
We all live in this world so scary
And now it's you we have to bury.

What happened, Joey? who, what , when, where, and why?
Why is it that you chose to die?
What event signaled the beginning of the end?
Let's pray you're forgiven for the times you sinned.
