Tables

[Chorus: Stacey Michelle]
I don't wanna feel like this for one more day
I don't wanna feel that way, gonna make a change today
Hand held high and a smile on my face
'Cause karma comes back around
And these tables, tables gonna turn

[Verse 1: Jamie Drastik]
Meet Henry, Henry super friendly
But even though he's friendly, it don't mean that he is many
Friends that is, at least he's here
His older brother's friends said they look after the kid
But they're in different schools, so that don't help much
When Henry falls down, Henry pick himself up
So Jack came along with his backpack on
Put a tack on Henry's chair that he sat back on
Now Henry screaming loud with a tear in his eye
Doing everything he can do to hold back the cry
The whole class is laughing, teacher ask "What happened?"
Jack post the whole thing, "LOL, caption"
He ran out the class with the tack in his ass
No hall pass, just a bathroom dash
He looks in the mirror, it couldn't be clearer
Tells himself those circumstances won't last

[Chorus: Stacey Michelle]
I don't wanna feel like this for one more day
I don't wanna feel that way, gonna make a change today
Hand held high and a smile on my face
'Cause karma comes back around
And these tables, tables gonna turn

[Verse 2: Jamie Drastik]
Henry's brother found out about Jack and his tack
Him and his friends got together to plan the attack
But Henry said, "No, let me deal with it first"
'Cause if you come to my school, it'll only make things worse
So, Henry got through it, no help from other students
Jack and his crew is abusing some other losers
That's what they called them but didn't know it scarred 'em
If you talk back to Jack, he be a part of his target
Four years of this bullshit daily, called Henry a terrorist
'Cause he was his rarely, when school let out
Henry felt bitter, 'cause this just kept up on Facebook and Twitter
The day at Graduation, Henry's there pacing
Didn't wanna deal with Jack but didn't have to face him
Principal called the last name to the crowd
Henry looked around, Jack was nowhere to be found

[Chorus: Stacey Michelle]
I don't wanna feel like this for one more day
I don't wanna feel that way, gonna make a change today
Hand held high and a smile on my face
'Cause karma comes back around
And these tables, tables gonna turn

[Verse 3: Jamie Drastik]
Ten years later, Henry became major
Manager at the energy plant and had labor
Office with a view, diplomas on the wall
Got a wife and three kids and a house that has it all
Pick your fence and a dog that he takes on his job
Before he goes to work and that's a post to his blog
Gets in, starts interviews with other managers
Hiring for maintenance, nice way to say janitor
In walks Jack, yeah, that Jack with that tack
Looks thirty years older like he been through hell and back
On his application, Jack checked convicted felon
Henry ask, "What for?" but Jack's reluctant to tell it
Said, "I'm sorry for the past, I was a child of course"
But know I have four kids that's on child support
And the court won't let me see 'em 'til I send money to feed 'em
I'm alive 'cause my kids, I swear, that's the only reason
Henry looked at him, said "Ain't this a bitch?"
Ten years later, look how the tables switch
He said, "You're hired, you work from 8 to 6"
But don't be late, 'cause I won't be taking shit

[Chorus: Stacey Michelle]
I don't wanna feel like this for one more day
I don't wanna feel that way, gonna make a change today
Hand held high and a smile on my face
'Cause karma comes back around
And these tables, tables gonna turn
