Poor Boy

They wake him up early
To go to school
Kid, if you're late
You'll see what's coming to you

His uniform is dirty
He didn't do his homework
Things have gotten tough at home
Since they saw his report card

He doesn't want to go
He has no friends
Nobody respects him

On Monday he arrives at class
He's been feeling down since Sunday
He tries, but it's hard for him
To read the board

They tell him: You know the answer
He doesn't know what he asked
Sorry, teacher, please repeat that

If you're not going to be in class
Leave the room

Poor boy, poor boy
He just wants some peace
Poor boy, poor boy
Who can't stop crying

Poor boy, poor boy
Who can't take it anymore
Poor boy, poor boy
Who's going to help him?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold him
His parents scold him

It's recess time
And fate calls
And today he mustered up the courage
To ask Mariana out
He thinks that if he had someone
It could be a relief

And guess what?
(What?)
She said yes!
But only as friends

Waking up with himself
Rejection doesn't surprise him
Because he's gained weight
Since starting high school

With tears in his eyes
He looks at himself in the mirror
It wouldn't have happened
If you weren't so ugly

He's lost all motivation
Self-esteem and respect

Poor boy, poor boy
He just wants to be at peace
Poor boy, poor boy
Who can't stop crying

Poor boy, poor boy
Who can't take it anymore
Poor boy, poor boy
Who's going to help him?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold him
His parents scold him

After a day
With too much stress
He tells his parents
That the teacher wants to see them today

Kid, why didn't you tell me?
Can't you see I have to work?
Sorry, Dad, it'll only be for a little while

If you do something like that again
The belt will be back

Dear parents
I don't mean to alarm you
But the child may have
Attention Deficit Disorder

We need a psychiatrist
To give us a solution
These kinds of issues
Require prudence and discretion

What ADHD, teacher?
My son is lazy

Poor boy, poor boy
He just wants some peace
Poor boy, poor boy
Who won't stop crying

Poor boy, poor boy
Who can't take it anymore
Poor boy, poor boy
Who will help him?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold him
His parents scold him
