E

E

EI went to your schools, I did my detention

But the walls are so gray, I couldn’t pay attention

EI heard your gospel- it moved me to tears,

But I couldn’t find the hate, and I couldn’t find the fear

EI met your Savior, I knelt at his feet,

And he took my ten bucks, and he went down the street

EI tried to believe all the things that you said,

 But my Afriends that aren’t dying are F♯already dead.

C♯mRaise a Btoast to St. Joe AStrummer

C♯mI think he Bmight’ve been our Eonly decent teacher

C♯mGetting Bolder makes it Aharder to remember E A

we are our only saviors

 We’re gonna F♯build something, this Esummer

best song of the year no question about it
