Bridge over troubled waters today
Right down to your watery grave
All the mothers come to the river to pray
Bridge over troubled waters today
We're crafty but were A-Okay
Don't look at me I ain't the one to blame

Campfire stories till the lights out
Keep yapping away till the nights out
Let me tell you the story of the kid down the lane

Something with his head, He's real gone
Couldn't protect himself against all the wrong
So he found himself down the road to the framed
Now his sister she's mad, not satisfied
"Why did you drag my brother into this fight?"
They said "your brother's mad, He's downright insane!"

Well you can't blame his soul
But his death it paid the toll
Bridge over troubled waters today
No Don't you dare say
How crime in this town has gone away

Bridge over troubled waters today
From the victim to the one who's played
Were gonna stop the crime just not today

Now his mother she was just a train wreck
Stopped functioning no paycheck
So She wasted away in the house down the lane

But his father was worse when the news spread
Lost his job and was paranoid of who's dead
So he threw himself to a watery grave

Bridge over troubled waters today
Right down to your watery grave
All the mothers come to the river to pray
Bridge over troubled waters today
We're crafty but were A-Okay
Don't look at me I ain't the one to blame

Bridge over troubled waters today
No Don't you dare say
How crime in this town has gone away

Bridge over troubled waters today
From the victim to the one who's played
Were gonna stop the crime just not today
As you can see this is all a Parade
And there's no real person to blame
Just the conscious thought that life is a strain
