He'd said he'd leave his ego on the back seat of his car Said he'd travelled some distance Said he'd travelled quite far
Everyone he'd passed - everyone just knew 'Cos he was in a 20 going 32 And it was at precisely 3:30 Yes it was kicking out time at the jungle zoo
The parents they all gasped As he sped right on passed But this 1 kid had his headphones on Was the last time he'd hear his favourite song
He said it was just an accident Said that it was not his fault He'd swerved to the left and swerved to the right Said if the lorry hadn't pulled out then everything would've been all right
Now he was only a man boy and turned eighteen on that day His girlfriend called him up excited with these words to say: "You're going to be a daddy, I've gone into labour on your birthday" Now through steel bars, he kneels to pray
"Dear god, forgive me for my sins Bring peace, in time, to all the families that I've ruined I did not mean for 2 people to die I see that horrific scene whenever I close my eyes I wish it was me that died that day Which is why I kneel to you and pray I wish I could go back and do things different again Now I won't be out of prison until my son is at least 10 Keep him safe and the families I've destroyed Amen"
