The Thinning Page #6

---

his son Blake was among this

year's failing students.

- My son, as much as I love him,

is no different than any

of your sons or daughters.

I'm not a hypocrite.

The laws apply to all of us.

It just doesn't

make it any easier.

I lost my son today.

But I know in my heart

that he died for a purpose.

All of our fallen students have

made the ultimate sacrifice

in the name of ensuring

a better tomorrow

and in keeping

America's future bright.

I'd like to take a moment and

thank them for their courage.

(car revving)

- [Voiceover] Hold it.

Okay, they're all clear.

(buzzing)

(gate screeching)

(anxious, pulsating music)

("DNA")

Dark as midnight

Six pack Coors Light

You don't look the same

Past my bedtime

Blue and red lights

Come take you away

Hate to see you like a monster

So I run and hide

Hate to ask but what's it like

To leave me behind

I won't be, no I

won't be like you

Fighting back, I'm

fighting back the truth

Eyes like yours

can't look away

But you can't stop DNA

No, you can't stop DNA

Twice a year, you

come in crashing

Nice to see you too

Johnny Cash and

backseat laughing

Always ends too soon

Hate to say hello 'cause

I know that it means goodbye

Hate to ask but what's

it like to leave me behind

I won't be, no I

won't be like you

Fighting back, I'm

fighting back the truth

Eyes like yours

can't look away

But you can't stop DNA

No, you can't stop DNA

All the pieces of you

And the pieces of me

I'm just so scared

You're who I'll

be when I erupt

Just like you

do, they look at me

I can't look at you
