Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smudged funnies in a broken bottle, on the dot at nine
So daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove
I'm cryin' in the corner at five
Well, I seen black and I seen blue but fine lines I don't see
And just because I am in misery, don't it mean a thing
[Verse 2]
That I wanna know
That I wanna know
[Verse 3]
Graduation day, graduation day
We take back everything we said about you
[Verse 4]
September, as far as she remembers, they don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday, don't it mean a thing
That she's been loved and she's seen war but fairness she don't see
And just because she is in misery, don't it mean a thing
[Verse 5]
That she wants to know
That she wants to know
[Verse 6]
Graduation day, graduation day
We take back everything we said about you
(Graduation day) Graduation day
Graduation day
We take back everything we said true
To come rattle this boat, doin' well, I'm told
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
[Verse 7]
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, I'm not gonna
I ain't goin' to school
(Graduation day) I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna
I'm not goin' to school
