Letters To The President

歌詞

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 chance 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 chance to find a way Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair Not to mention date rape 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 chance 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 not fair 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 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 As for now I'll start with something
