Mike kalinsky had asthma

He was often absent from school

But he still performed well on tests & quizzes

So all the other kids felt like fools

Mike kalinsky had asthma

Spinning bottles never pointed his way

You see, he had difficulty breathing

So he couldn't participate in sports

And all the jocks said he was gay

There is no cure for asthma

But does anyone even care?

Mike kalinsky spent high school alone in his bedroom listening to joy division and the misfits

And going nowhere

And years passed

I forgot all about him

And then one night, i was hanging out at a local rock club

Checking out a band a friend of mine said i really shouldn't miss

And there he was, singing

A song that went a little something like this:

'i couldn't even blow out a simple match'
