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 I never got a chance to find a way
(One) take a good look at all of our high schools This is the first reason that I wanna 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
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
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, 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 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
