When we were younger we used to sit on my porch
|
And talk smack about girls and professional sports
|
There's a lot of things I wanted to say
|
But never got a change to find a way
|
|
(One) take a good look at all of your high schools
|
this is the first reason that I want to write you
|
it must be tough when society is messed up
|
Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us
|
|
Do they even know? Do they even know?
|
|
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
|
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
|
But for now I won't say nothing
|
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
|
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
|
But for now I won't say nothing
|
|
Now that we're older a brand new story unfolds
|
About God and the laws that we've always been told
|
And there's a lot of things I wanted to say
|
But never got a change to find a way
|
|
Same-sex marriage in a stat where they don't care
|
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
|
Not to mention date rap, felony and car theft
|
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
|
|
Do they even know? Do they even know?
|
|
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
|
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
|
But for now I won't say nothing
|
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
|
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
|
As for now I'll start with something
|
|
Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star
|
Good role model, had a change to go real far
|
Then the school made a budget-cut
|
Cut out the track team
|
Now instead Tommy is a crack head
|
|
Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care
|
Murder is wrong but the jail time's unfair
|
Not to mention date rape, felony, and car theft
|
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
|
|
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
|
And hove him pass it to the leaders of out parliament
|
But for now I won't say nothing
|
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
|
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
|
As for now I'll start with something
