"Max Says" by Lagwagon

Max says everybody's angry 
Max says he'll never leave his home 
Max says that heaven's another place 
It's there his grandparents have gone 
Max has ten years on this birthday 
A year ago this world had made him cry 
Max sees his world through the brightness 
Eyes to learn 
Hope to glow in the dark 
And he will aim toward the sky 
Deep blue 
The silver lined white clouds divide 
Max says everybody's nasty 
Says they start too many fights 
Max wrote a letter to god today 
His god could never tell lies 
Max says he's always been faithful 
He prays for them 
Max bets they all will be saved 
And he will aim toward the sky 
Deep blue 
The silver lined white 
clouds so divine 
But Max won't get what 
he asked for 
Not here not now 
In the end we will leave him a pile 
Mountains of anguish assured for his climb 
And Max inherits his birthright 
Inbred inborn
