He died, struck by a car, br Maybe murdered, perhaps a drug overdose. br The words from the headteacher, br Employer or family are always the same - br br 'A fine chap with many friends, br The life and soul of the party, br His whole great life ahead of him! ' br br No one murdered, struck by a car, br The victim of drugs br Is ever shy, contemplative or bookish. br They never have trouble in their lives, br Never run riot at school, br Never give employers a bad time, br Never drive their parents crazy. br br They are all sadly missed, br The world is always a worse place br Now that they've gone, br They never bring it on themselves. br br The lie is contagious. br br Nasty people are murdered, br Get struck by cars, br Die of overdoses. br Misfits and charming boys br Share the same fates. br br Headteachers never say - br 'She was quiet and felt intimidated.' br Employers never say - br 'He was lazy.' br Parents never say - br 'She lied, cheated and gave us a hard time.' br br Death restores reputations!br br Joe Hughes visit joehughes.org.
