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
