Ballad of Timmy and Tommy

The Ballad of Timmy and Tommy

Timmy and Tommy were strange, twin brothers,
different as night and day.
Timmy said "yes, please" and "thank you much ma'am"
Tommy said "Screw you!" and "No way!"

Timmy played soccer for his school's home team,
under the stadium lights,
Tommy played hooky, drank beer, and smoked weed,
and got into numerous fights.

The two young men loved and hated each other,
as only two brothers can do,
Tommy said, "Won't  you try once being bad?"
Timmy said, "Try being good, can't you ?"

One day the brothers were sent to the store,
to buy their poor mama some bread,
Timmy was driving as safe as can be,
till a cement truck struck them both dead.

It matters not how good or bad you may be,
is something that's hard to apprehend,
A good life or bad life, its all up to you,
the cement truck is how we all end.
