\f0\fs24 \cf0 A Song About Dwayne Lyrics\ \
The bell rings through the unfamiliar halls,\ Wire rimmed glasses scoping through their
lengths,\ Clumsily wading through the shifting crowds\
The new kid strides straight into Dwayne\'92s clench.\
\ Terrified eyes shoot from all around,\
the bully shoves the kid into a wall,\ And he utters a corrupted sound,\
Making countless victims shudder in remembrance.\ \
bully is a tyrant,\ school is his domain,\
He imprisons all dreams,\ And leaves all happiness slain.\
\ The halls are now labyrinths of agony,\
Torrents of name-calling and rumors surge through the school,\
Driving the new kid\'92s soul into darkness and shame,\
Always dreading the glance of the bully, Dwayne.\ No solitude could be found even at home,\
Crying from humiliation in the light of a screen,\
Limitless messages popping up all the time,\ All of them rumors, put-downs, and names,\
For all happiness, the bully, Dwayne has slain.\ \
Days stretched to weeks and those into months,\ Until the first victim was claimed using their
own hands,\ The surge of emotions broke through a dam,\
Which unleashed anger, vengeance- which's need for revenge.\
\ bully is a tyrant,\
school is his domain,\ He imprisons all dreams,\
And leaves all happiness slain.\ \
The
death of a classmate was the last straw,\ An army must be made to dethrone the king,\
The bullied must resurface and fight back with strength,\
An uprising is taking place, they shall rebel against Dwayne.\
\ They march through the school, \
To the beat of a drum,\ doors are shields\
And Rulers their swords.\ \
Each unique talent is used for the war,\ An alliance with bystanders join their side,\
A battalion of teachers waits for the call,\ As the union of solders march on the battlegrounds.\
\ The bully is a tyrant and\
The school is his domain,\ He imprisons all dreams,\
And leaves happiness slain.\ X2\
Cannons of insults fire upon the rebels,\ Many falling to depression, and unable to
go on.\ They retaliate with music, art, and song,\
Driving the bully down from his throne.\ \
\ The bully lacks the satisfaction of hurt,\
And his attacks of abuse and force are in vain,\
Because the troops have learned the technique of disregard,\
The bully is powerless and is bound to his loss.\
\ The bully is a tyrant,\
The school is his domain,\ He imprisons all dreams,\
And leaves happiness slain.\ X2\
\ Except now the bully is no longer in charge,\
Without his allies the school he has lost,\ The dreams and the happiness that he took
have been freed,\ So please, join together to stop bullying,
we plead!\ \
