(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
