Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star
Good role model, had a change to go real far
Then the school made a budget-cut
Cut out the track team
Now instead Tommy is a crack head
Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care
Murder is wrong but the jail time's unfair
Not to mention date rape, felony, and car theft
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
And hove him pass it to the leaders of out parliament
But for now I won't say nothing
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I'll start with something
