INTRO
VERSE
Man us kids, we can be so cruel
Teen armies never suffered no fools
But Benny was a sucker
Man he never really fit in
Poor Benny had to do his time
Just breathing was a capital crime
Man we made him suffer
Benny never really knew why
PRE CHORUS
This time I think we ve pushed too far
This time we ve opened up a scar
This time we ve pushed him to the edge
This time it s really gone straight to his head
CHORUS
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he might ve jumped this time
You didn t see the look in his eye
I think we ve pushed him way too far
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he might ve jumped this time
You didn t see the look in his eye
I think we ve pushed him way too far
Way too far
VERSE
So come on Benny step on back from that ledge
Cause we didn t mean a word that we said
Yeah we thought your skin was thicker
Than the lines that we fed
PRE CHORUS
I saw him rocking on the edge
With the years of anger, isolation
Running through his head
Nah, Benny don t step off that ledge
For the world will drown in your river running red
CHORUS
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he might ve jumped this time
You didn t see the look in his eye
I think we ve pushed him way too far, no no
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he might ve jumped this time
You didn t see the look in his eye
I think we ve pushed him way too far
BRIDGE
Yeah, he might ve jumped this time
He might ve jumped this time
He might ve jumped this time
Benny might ve jumped this time
Yeah, he might ve jumped this time
He might ve jumped this time
Benny might ve jumped this time
I think he might ve jumped
this time
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he really jumped this time
You didn t see the look in his eye
I think we ve pushed him way too far
OUTRO
Benny s on the rooftop man
I think he really jumped this time
I think he really jumped this time
He really jumped this time
He really jumped this time
END ON Em
