Dropkick Murphys Four Dead Cheerleaders Lyrics

Four Dead Cheerleaders Lyrics

Tammy flunked a test yesterday and all she does is cry

if they kick her off the cheerleaders squad

she knows she's gonna die

she can't even go home tonight because she is so afraid

that her parents might ground her

'cause she didn't make the grade

when her friends won't understand they might even laugh at her, 

now she's feeling overwhelmed succumbing to the pressure 

so she wrote a little note and addressed it to her mom

it says I hope this brings you peace

pray for me until I'm gone.



Lately something changed with Jane she's always late for school

she can't take another day of her girlfriends being cruel

she's great on all the football field, ringing out all the cheers

but in the halls of school she gets tormented by her peers

as long as she's a cheerleader everything will be alright

but unlike all the other girls she's home each Friday night

just to be accepted once, was her one and only wish

but she never was at all

'til she sliced her lovely wrists.



Marsha was a straight A girl on the cheerleading team

everyone thought she was stupid

always lost in a big dream

and they named her shit was stinging cause of the way that she would talk

all the girls would laugh behind her back

and the boys stopped the ball to mock

and now she's feeling self-consious and refusing to speak

her parents are a bit worried

she hasn't spoken in a week

inside she's crying out for help and it seems she's lost all hope

her parents found her a day later hanging from a knotted rope.



Nancy's got the worst of it because she's prettiest 

everyone thinks she's conceded she always looks the best

she goes out with all the football guys and every one thinks she

is much too popular not to have lost her virginity.

she has no one she can turn to when she's feeling really sad

and last night on her date some guy raped her really bad

all she wanted was to be loved but she always felt so cheap

so she stole some sleeping pills ate them all and went to sleep



Stupid reasons why (reasons why)

they all had to die (suicide)

Stupid reasons why (resons why)

they all had to die (suicide)

stupid reasons why (reasons why)

they all had to die (suicide)

stupid reasons why (resons why)

they all had to die

suicide... suicide.... suicide... suicide....
