The camaraderie'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 Graduation Day, Graduation Day We take back everything we said about you Graduation Day, Graduation Day We take back everything we said to...
