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 fiveWell, 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 thingThat I wanna know
That I wanna knowGraduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything
We said about youSeptember, as far as she remembers
They don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
Don't it mean a thingThat 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 thingThat she wants to know
That she wants to knowGraduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything
We said about you(Graduation Day)
Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything
We said tooThe 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 handGraduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything
We said about youGraduation 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
