Jimmy Rae was born and raised to be  The son of pride and family respect  And Jimmy Rae swore he'd one day see  The other side of his own neglect  So Jimmy Rae left home at seventeen  And vowed he would never look back  He passed his old man on the floor  Empty bottle, his face in the crack  And it's so sad to see that no one hears the call  And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall  Where nobody gives a damn  The sacrificial lamb  The message is clear  It's a tragedy to see you slip away  Jimmy Rae  Jimmy Rae dreamed he'd someday be  A lucky child of significance  And shall we say it was destiny  He'd be a victim of indifference  So Jimmy Rae fell down to his knees  And confessed to a higher God  'O naked truth you're a travesty  Your creation's a fraud  'O and it's so sad to see that no one hears the call  And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall  Where nobody gives a damn  The sacrificial lamb  The message is clear  It's a tragedy to see you slip away  Jimmy Rae  Oh no no  And it's so sad to see that no one hears the call  And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall  Whoa where nobody gives a damn  The sacrificial lamb  The message is clear  It's a tragedy to see you slip away  Jimmy Rae  Jimmy Rae no no no  Oh no  It's so sad to see you slip away  It's so sad to see you slip away  Jimmy Rae  Jimmy Rae  Jimmy Rae  Do you hear me Jimmy Rae?  Do you hear me Jimmy Rae?
