Smudged funnies in a broken bottle on the dot at nine
So daddy throws clothes throws on an old stove
I'm crying in the corner at 5

Well 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 thing that I want to know
That I want to know

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

September
far that she remembers, they don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
Don't it mean a thing
That she's fed love and she's seen war but fairness she don't see
And just because she is in misery
Don't it 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 true

The comradery'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 hand
Everybody is dieing for the 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 true

(Graduation Day) I'm not gonna
(Graduation Day) I'm not gonna
I aint going to school

(Graduation Day) I'm not gonna
(Graduation Day) I'm not gonna
I'm not going to school
