If I was brave, I'd write a letter to the president
As for now, I'll start with something
Do they even know?
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But never got a chance to find a way
If I was brave, I'd write a letter to the president
Cut out the track team
But for now, I won't say nothing
Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star
But for now, I won't say nothing
But for now, I won't say nothing
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
Same sex marriage in a state where they don't care
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
If I was brave, I'd write a letter to the president
It must be tough when society is messed up
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
Then the school made a budget-cut
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us
Do they even know?
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Now that we're older, a brand new story unfolds
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
Now instead Tommy is a crack head
Not to mention date rape, felony and car theft
And there's a lot of things I wanted to say
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
Not to mention date rape, felony and car theft
Do they even know?
But never got a chance to find a way
There's a lot of things I wanted to say
About God and the laws that we've always been told
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now, I'll start with something
Take a good look at all of our high schools
This is the first reason that I want to write you
Do they even know?
Sex marriage in a state where they don't care
But for now, I won't say nothing
Good role model, has a chance to go real far
