See him glowing in the shadows
Running from the pain he's in
He got too close for comfort
He discovered the governments' sins
And they didn't care what they did
To the radioactive kid
Yeah he's a social leper
He only wants to try to please
But no one would approach him
Although he said it's not a disease
And they didn't care what they did
To the radioactive kid
Sits there in the darkness
He thinks alone and plans
He directs all the power
There's sparks flying out of his hands
Things are gonna be different
Now I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna return all the heartache
Do for you what you did for me
Yeah things are gonna be different
Now I've learned about the things you did
And the world is gonna regret me
