And the death of a cheerleader Take me by surprise How the death of a cheerleader Can open eyes
Yellow carnations and roses galore Were sent to the mother and Placed by the door And in the spot where her daughter had Taken her life Was a sweet sixteen photo On homecoming night Push 'em back, push 'em back Way back, way back B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
And the death of a cheerleader Takes me by surprise How the death of a cheerleader Can open eyes And it's sad that she had to die To open eyes
Nobody doubted her future was vast Nobody noticed she grew up so fast It's a shame that her future's a thing of the past Tomorrow's the funeral you know L-E-T-S G-O
