Release The Veterans!

Chad says
This town is nothing but potheads
And sluts with too much class
To make money off their talents

Lewis says
For a town of white, country Catholics
He was surprised that most abide by
"Live and let live"

Cheslock says
This town is one giant sinkhole
To grow into a factory job
Is every student's goal

I say
We're all blessed this town is so bad
It makes us want to better ourselves
Then stab it in the back

Well I found nine or ten guys
And this one girl in third grade
Who could admit
They tolerated me
They're all spreading out
While I'm stuck in my bedroom
"And yes
This town's still the same"

So everyone is doing what they were supposed to do
I'm wondering how long before I cave in too
I'm grateful that these angels let me call them my friends
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed

Matt says
That he's sorry he's been distant
We grew apart, went separate ways
I hold nothing against him

Drew says
That she's running her own business
She says she misses me, 'cause it makes me happy
I say I miss her, 'cause she makes me happy

Abby says
She just wants someone who wants her
I guess that means unless you're fat
Or unless you really love her

Torres says
The English language is in my command
So here I am, wasting it
On a game of Simon Says

My double-digit years were spent intent on dying alone
Bailey would be better off
Without me forcing him to scream my cruddy lyrics
Into the microphone

So everyone is doing what they were supposed to do
I'm wondering how long before I cave in too
I'm grateful these angels let me call them my friends
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed

This year could just end and I'd still be a wreck
I have an addiction to caffeine and a hatred of sex
I can't even sleep through the night or be happy
Without taking a pill for the rest of my life

(This year could just end and we'd still be a wreck!
We have an addiction to caffeine and T.J. hates sex!
We can't even sleep through the night or be happy!
Without taking a pill for the rest of our lives!)
