Graduation Day

Smudged funnies in a broken bottle

On the dot at nine

So daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove

I'm cryin' in the corner at five

Well, I've seen black and I've seen blue

But fine lines I don't see

And just because I am in misery

Don't it mean a thing

That I wanna know

That I wanna know

Graduation Day

Graduation Day

We take back everything

We said about you

September, as far as she remembers

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 seen war

But fairness she don'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

Graduation Day

Graduation Day

We take back everything

We said about you

(Graduation Day)

Graduation Day

Graduation Day

We take back everything

We said too

The camaraderie's old, doing 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

Graduation Day

Graduation Day

We take back everything

We said about you

Graduation Day

Graduation Day

We take back everything

We said too

(Graduation Day)

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna

I ain't goin' to school

(Graduation Day)

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna

I'm not goin' to school
