Standard (EADGBE)

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

Take a good look at all of our high schools

 This is the first reason that I wanna write you

 It must be tough when society is messed up

 Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us

Pre-chorus

Do they even know? Do they even know?

Chorus

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

There’s a lot of things I wanted to say but never got a chance to find a way
