| 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 |
