| The rest of the lyrics are here: "Jimmy Johnson" I remember well I'm holding him down Silent under to his torture, tortures me now Pounding the mold Force the odd, size peace Why did they put Jimmy Johnson In a prison, didn't belong, in some new school he might find others just like him Obviously he's retarded Look at your kids, look at what they see Focus on an easy target, torment the freak One golden rule Children are cruel No one here's more Jimmy Johnson but where the kids are rotten Jimmy make us proud Jimmy Johnson, our mother and only son So sorry, please forgive us for all that we done, we thought it would be best for you if you could coexist We had to put you to the test ------------- The song is about picking on the outcast and regreting it later. | |

| I'm pretty sure all the above lyrics are incorrect, I think it's: I remember well them holding him down silent partner to his torture tortures me now pound in the mold forth the outside space (really dont think this line is right, but meh) why did they put jimmy johnson in a place he didn't belong in some new school he might find others just like him obviously he's retarded (look at your peers) look at what they see focus on an easy target torment the freak one golden rule: children are cruel no one hears poor jimmy johnson cry when the kids are rotten jimmy make us proud jimmy johnson a martyr and our only son so sorry please forgive us for all that we've done we thought it would be best for you if you could coexist we had to put you to the test What it's really about is a mentally handicapped kid that the singer remembers form his school days. "Silent Partner to his Torture" explains the singer -- he always saw Jimmy get Stallowned, but never did anything about it. Anyways, Jimmy's a martyr because either A) He died from all this (which is unlikely), or B) It ruined him for life. And yeah, sad. | |
