i have a message for you:
you're only as long as you're breathing,
and no one can stop the bleeding
what else should i say?
i have a message for you:
you're already decomposing
you're picture's slowly closing,
as memory slips away
i have a message for you:
your girlfriend's tears are wasted
she won't even know that you tasted
the salt she shed for you
i have a message for you:
she won't even cry tomorrow,
and all that you are is sorrow,
so i'll cry for you, too

take this down, pass it around, i don't want to let you go
until you all know:
nothing is gonna happen when they stick you in the ground
nothing is gonna happen
nothing

i have a message for you:
i know what you're thinking,
all i need is faith, hope, and love
i have a message for you:
i used to be just like you
i used to be just like you
i used to be just like you

chorus

i have a message for you:
it doesn't matter what you do,
alive a while but dying soon
i have a message for you,
and i'm not one to be untrue:
alive a while but dying soon

i have a message for you:
i was the president
yeah, i was the president of freshman class,
but the teachers all thought i was a pain in the ass

chorus
