Gym Class Heroes - Graduation Day lyrics

I knew this kid named Alberto

Funny style cat and his girl looked like a turtle

Not Lisa Turtle, just a turtle

High school track he ran the hurdle

His peers shed tears in senior year when he got murdered

Now Alberto was your average A student

Participated in class and never came late and never chewin

His family was picture perfect, his older sister was prom queen

His dad a decorated vet from the Vietnam scene

His mother was dear Abby, an ordinary housewife

Like clock would always have dinner on the table at five

But Alberto had a monster that he kept under his bed

And instead of lettin it out he just got a girlfriend instead

She knew somethin was funny she could tell by his behavior

Or the way he flamboyantly shook his hand when he would wave to her

She thought nothin of it and just shoved it in the closet

Until the day word dripped out like leaky faucet

Alberto was homosexual, I ain't had nothin against it

But little Ronny Johnson and all his football player friends did

They'd always pick and nag call him fag and such and such

And couldn't wait to get to gym so they could really bust his nuts

They gym teacher never cared he just joined in on the action

Make silly gestures and compare him to Michael Jackson

Alberto couldn't take it he just stopped showin up

And whenever he walked them halls he just felt like throwin up

And at night he would cry and cry and ask God why

Like God, why the fuck I had to be born this way?

God would reply, "Son, you gotta show em you're more than gay"

See he had dreams to be a track star

Until the wonderful night the gay jokes went way too far

Ronny begged for his forgiveness and invited him to a party

Cause his parents went away and left him plenty of Bacardi

Alberto kindly accepted, he was finally accepted

Except it was all deception and nothin while unprotected

There was a plan Ronny had scammed to get him in the right place

Verbally degrade him and rearrange his pretty face

The plan would go swiftly, they started callin him sissy

One punch turned into fifty they beat him till he was dizzy

Now Alberto lie in blood while his peers looked on in fear

He took his last breath and passed away his senior year

Needless to say it was one big tragedy

And how was Ronny gonna explain to his family

While they were on vacation takin in sights

He got wasted, killed a kid that night

Don't be a slave and behave the way they do

Just utilize the gifts that God gave you (4x)

I knew this girl named Maria

Bright and talented, with aspirations to be a big super star

What a great idea, until she fell off and started listening to her peers... oh dear

Now Maria was your typical obnoxious analytical

Headstrong rebel flippin off the principal

Single mother home structure, she looked after baby brother

While moms worked two jobs just to buy supper

Pops was a strugglin musician, troubled man

Jugglin family and heroin addiction

He overdosed and left a notice of eviction and

A crate of records on the table in the kitchen and

A little angel with a keen sense of sound

Who sought solace in the records she found

And she would stay up late at night reciting songs to herself under pale moonlight

Righting wrongs that her pops made

Promised her mom she would never go the same route, turns out

Carrie-Anne had other plans

Her and her man Ronny most popular

Second best to nobody

Homecoming queen versus ugly duckling, and the story ends the same way, okay

Ronny's parents went away for a couple of days and told him no drinkin

What the fuck was they thinkin?

Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend had already been invited

So when Carrie-Anne asked she got all excited

Like "Damn, now I got somethin to look forward to"

Or so she thought

Maria kindly accepted, she was finally accepted , except it was all bullshit

Now pay attention

Carrie-Anne hated Maria cause she could sing

So she scored a bag of heroin but the craziest thing

Was Maria never touched drugs, she did that night

And when her man was gettin beat she was nowhere in sight

Now her boyfriend lie in blood and she had no idea

Alberto passed away and she got hooked her senior year

Needless to say it was one big tragedy and

I hate to break it but it doesn't end happily

A warm day in May the sky was so beautiful

Carrie-Anne died in a crash leavin the funeral
