jay and ernie (aka ice) - heath mcnease lyrics

bullies hide in the graveyard
bullies hide in the graveyard and wait for me
yeah they wait for me
bullies hide behind headstones
bullies hide behind headstones and take from me
yeah they take from me

jay and ernie came down with the salem blues
hiding in the cemetery after schools out to take your shoes
not much love for early ninеties bullies or vacant tombs
but thirty years latеr imagine the bodies and secrets they’ve exhumed

imagine the kicks your mom and pops gave you
now imagine a bully [?] you show up and he’s in your cross*trainers
you’re feeling small and helpless, cause this ain’t the vibe you’re used to
and it hurts more cause you know he rocks them shoes better than you do

i imagine why ernie shaved the word ‘ice’ in the back of his head
maybe it was peer pressure or some fashion trend he was happy to set
maybe there’s a girl he had to impress
or maybe his folks got divorced and it was a cry for help to his dad when he left

i think he cried on the inside when he grabbed max by the neck
if you think that’s sympathy for the devil
that’s sympathy you’d be happy to get
and i’ll offer the same to you if you come down with the salem blues
i can put myself in your position, and i don’t even need to take your shoes
i’d rather take your hatred and your broken presuppositions
flip ’em upside down and inside out and expose the guts and sinew
i don’t suppose i know what’s in you
and i don’t know what you’ve been through
but i can’t condone the misuse of force applied by or against you
so ice i hope you found peace or contentment
instead of drowning in resentment
i hope max sees you and mentions
that your bad deeds are forgiven

bullies hide in the graveyard
bullies hide in the graveyard and wait for me
yeah they wait for me
bullies hide behind headstones
bullies hide behind headstones to take from me
yeah they take from me

think about what jay is up to now and the kind of life he lives
did he get his high school diploma?
are he and ice still friends?
maybe he found work and could move up to [?] with his wife and kids
and if he did, i hope he changed and they never know what violence is
is he contrite for his deeds that don’t even bear repeating?
did wisdom come when those golden locks revealed the hairline is receding?
does the guilt sneak inside when he sees his children trick*or*treating?
can he side*step the feeling of scars he gave others are never healing?

jay i’d hate to be in your position
growing up around ghosts and witches
and threatened by anything you witness that’s remotely different
terrified by outsiders and anything that might threaten you
i bet that black leather jacket’s like a weighted blanket that’s protecting you
i hope you found god, or meditation, or medication, or therapy
instead of inflicting pain for your entertainment
and i hope the ones that hurt you apologize for their behavior
cause hurt people hurt people and they rarely own up to their failures
cause there’s graveyards full of bullies that no on ever visits
and there’s no kind words on their headstones
just a birth name and some digits
every time the season turns to fall, i get to thinking
if i’ll see you in the cemetery again, but this time for different reasons

bullies hide in the graveyard
bullies hide in the graveyard and wait for me
yeah they wait for me
bullies hide behind headstones
bullies hide behind headstones to take from me
yeah they take from me
