Smudged funnies in a broken bottle
On the dot at nine
Daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove
I'm crying in the corner at five
Well I've seen black and I've seen blue
But fine lines I don't see
And just because I am in misery
It don't mean a thing
That I wanna know
That I wanna know
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you
September, thought that she'd remembered
They don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
It don't mean a thing
That she's seen love and she's seen war
But fairness she don't see
And just because she is in misery
It don't mean a thing
That she wants to know
That she wants to know
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said too...
That camaraderie's old
Doing what I'm told
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand
Everybody is dying for
That chance to be heard not ignored
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said too...
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I ain't goin' to school
I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I'm not goin' to school
