Story behind the song
Interesting fact: I actually knew a person named Tony, and he killed himself for the same reason. And like in the song, I guess I never really knew who he was, just another face in high school. I think the saddest part is that there are probably thousands of other Tony's out there.
Lyrics
Does anyone remember Tony? He was a quiet boy little overweight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder At a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homeroom Took early morning attendance Then pledged allegience to the gloom Hey Tony what's so good about dying? Think I might do a little dying today Looked in the mirror saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away I hated everyday of high school Funny, I guess you did too Funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag: "Death comes to the local fag" I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you I knew that story I was sitting right behind you Hey Tony what's so good about dying? Think I might do a little dying today Looked in the mirror saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Does anyone remember Tony He was a quiet boy Hey Tony what's so good about dying?
