Laying in my bed tonight-
|
Before I got myself up to write this song
|
2AM - paper/pen - contemplating
|
The struggle we're engaged in -
|
Does anybody really even care?
|
But then I thought of your letter and I knew better!
|
So I'll do it again - yeah I'll sing it again
|
For my family, myself, my friends, THE KIDS!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Thanks for the letter that you sent
|
Reminding me not to give in!
|
|
"Dear Punk Rock Star:
|
I'm just kidding - but I like to call you that now and then just for fun.
|
I like your attitude.
|
I like your songs, I've been a really big fan since I can't remember when?
|
See there are some times when I feel really alone,
|
cause I don't really have any friends, and I don't fit in at school.
|
The gym coach called me a "fag" in front of the entire class,
|
so now everyone puts me down by saying I'm gay.
|
But I don't care because I have nothing against homosexuals
|
and the gym teacher is an asshole!
|
I think the things you say are important.
|
Thanks a lot.
|
Keep fighting!"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Thanks for the letter that you sent
|
Reminding me not to give in!
