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 chance to find a way |
|
Take a good look at all of our 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 chance to find a way |
|
Sex marriage in a state where they don't care |
|
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair |
|
Not to mention date rape, felony and car theft |
|
Break it down and tell me what we've got left |
|
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, has a chance 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 not fair |
|
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 have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament |
|
But for now, |
