Bringing flowers to the graveyard ‘aint no fun When you’re there to see the one’s ya love Another friend is there then gone All the friends we try to save We watch the grass grow around their graves Whatever happened to all our better days
Another casket rolls down the isle Another fathers in denial While we smoke butts and talk about the times when we were normal Shuffle through the photographs the empty Pabst The shit that was all left behind in the back of our minds
Can Billy come out and play I’m sorry but he’s gone away He won’t be coming ‘round here anymore This sucks I’m all alone My friend’s box of fuckin’ bones Just us kids who watched him fade away And now were’ sayin’…
What ever happened to all of our better days When we thought life was just beginning to go our way What ever happened to all of our better days When we never had to turn and run away And now we’re saying…
And when your sister cried her eyes out at the alter I couldn’t help but wonder if you were looking down upon her And we all wished that we had never woke up today It’s just us kids standing together Pretending you can hear us when we say
