Hawk Nelson - Letters To The President Lyrics
When we were younger we used to sit on my porchAnd talk smack about girls and professional sportsTheres a lot of things I wanted to sayBut never got a chance to find a way(One) take a good look at all of our high schoolsthis is the first reason that I want to write youit must be tough when society is messed upGotta save money, please dont take it out on usDo they even know? Do they even know?If I was brave Id write a letter to the presidentAnd have him pass it to the leaders of our parliamentBut for now I wont say nothingFrom all the kids who would stand in my residenceWho see this letter as a statement of our innocenceBut for now I wont say nothingNow that were older a brand new story unfoldsAbout God and the laws that weve always been toldAnd theres a lot of things I wanted to sayBut never got a chance to find a waySame-sex marriage in a state where they dont careMurder is wrong but the jail times not fairNot to mention date rape, felony and car theftBreak it down and tell me what weve got leftDo they even know? Do they even know?If I was brave Id write a letter to the presidentAnd have him pass it to the leaders of our parliamentBut for now I wont say nothingFrom all the kids who would stand in my residenceWho see this letter as a statement of our innocenceAs for now Ill start with somethingTake a good look at Tommy, hes a track starGood role model, had a chance to go real farThen the school made a budget-cutCut out the track teamNow instead Tommy is a crack headSame-sex marriage in a state where they dont careMurder is wrong but the jail times notfairNot to mention date rape, felony, and car theftBreak it down and tell me what weve got leftIf I was brave Id write a letter to the presidentAnd have him pass it to the leaders of our parliamentBut for now I wont say nothingFrom all the kids who would stand in my residenceWho see this letter as a statement of our innocenceAs for now Ill start with somethingAs for now Ill start with something
