(Verse 1)

So much fun is in a broken bottle

On the drive at night

So daddy froze froze froze on an old stool

  I'm cryin in the corner at 5

  Well I've seen black

  And I've seen blue

  But fine lines I don't see

And just because I am in misery

It don't mean a thing

  That I wanna know

  That I wanna know

(Chorus)

  Graduation Day, Graduation Day

  We take back everything we said about you

(Verse 2)

  September, as far as she remember, they don't teach humility

And just because her only signal is mayday

Don't it mean a thing

  That she's seen love and she's faired war but fairness she can't see

And just because she is in misery

  Don't it mean a thing that she wants to know

  That she wants to know

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

(Bridge)

  But comradery's old

  Doin' what I'm told

  And everybody knows

  This is getting out of hand

  Everybody is dying for

  The chance to be heard, not ignored

  And everybody knows

  This is getting out of hand

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

(Outro)

  I'm not gonna

  I'm not gonna

  I ain't goin' to school

  I'm not gonna

  I'm not gonna

  I'm not goin' to school
