Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were so tiny
Happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased
Singing and clapping
Laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste
[Verse 2]
Then we got bigger
That was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome
Welcome to my school
This ain't no high school
This is the Thunderdome
[Verse 3]
Hold your breath and count the days
We're graduating soon
College will be paradise
If I'm not dead by June
[Verse 4]
But I know, I know
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
For a better way
If we changed back then
We could change again
We can be beautiful
Just not today
[Verse 5]
Things will get better
As soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma
Take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
[Verse 6]
Dream of ivy-covered walls
And smoky French cafes
Fight the urge to strike a match
And set this dump ablaze
[Verse 7]
But I know, I know
I know life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
I pray for a better way
We were kind before
We can be kind once more
We can be beautiful
Just not today
[Verse 8]
And I know, I know
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
For a better way
We were kind before
We can be kind once more
We can be beautiful
Just not today
[Verse 9]
Why do they hate me?
Why don't I fight back?
Why do I act like such a creep?
Why won't she date me?
Why did I hit him?
Why do I cry myself to sleep?
[Verse 10]
Somebody hug me
Somebody fix me
Somebody save me
Send me a sign, God
Give me some hope here
Something to live for
[Verse 11]
Ah, Heather, Heather, and Heather
I love Heather, Heather, and Heather
[Verse 12]
And you know, you know, you know
This could be beautiful
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss
And we're on our way
Get this girl some blush
And Heather, I need your brush
Let's make me beautiful
(Let's make her beautiful)
(Let's make her beautiful)
Beautiful
Okay? Okay!
[Verse 13]
Out of my way, geek
I don't want trouble
You're gonna die at 3 p.m
Don't you dare touch me
Get away, pervert
What did I ever do to them?
Who could survive this?
I can't escape this
I think I'm dying
[Verse 14]
And you know, you know
You know life can be beautiful
You hope, you dream
You pray and you get your way
[Verse 15]
Ask me how it feels
Looking like hell on wheels
My God, it's beautiful (Beautiful)
[Verse 16]
I might be beautiful (Beautiful)
And when you're beautiful
It's a beautiful fricking day (Ha)
