Lyrics Thanks for the Letter (From a Kinder, Gentler America) - Justin Sane

Thanks for the Letter (From a Kinder, Gentler America)

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!
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!»
Thanks for the letter that you sent
Reminding me not to give in!
