He started out a decent guy
Worked hard to get good grades
The other kids began to bully him
Gave him more than he could take
He couldn't tell his teachers about it
Didn't want the rep as a rat
He had no friends to speak of
His parents didn't give a damn
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
When the bullies said, "Give me your money"
He went into his backpack
Instead of coming up with his wallet
He busted off a bunch of caps
When the smoke and confusion cleared up
Five teens lay there dead
He put a bullet in four of the bullies
Then put a bullet in his own head
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
The community cried out for safety
The bully's parents sued the school
Their innocent babies slaughtered
The district made tougher rules
But Sonny's got a little brother
And the same thing's been happening to him
He's eyeing a 357
His future's looking pretty grim
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
Sonny brought a gun to school
