Thanks For The Letter

Thanks for the Letter (From a Kinder, Gentler America)"



Laying in my bed tonight-

Before I got myself up to write this song

2AM - paper/pen - contemplating

The struggle we're engaged in -

Does anybody really even care?

But then I thought of your letter and I knew better!

So I'll do it again - yeah I'll sing it again

For my family, myself, my friends, THE KIDS!



Thanks for the letter that you sent

Reminding me not to give in!



"Dear Punk Rock Star:

I'm just kidding - but I like to call you that now and then just for fun.

I like your attitude.

I like your songs, I've been a really big fan since I can't remember when?

See there are some times when I feel really alone,

cause I don't really have any friends, and I don't fit in at school.

The gym coach called me a "fag" in front of the entire class,

so now everyone puts me down by saying I'm gay.

But I don't care because I have nothing against homosexuals and the gym teacher is an asshole!

I think the things you say are important.

Thanks a lot.

Keep fighting!"
