Thanks For The Letter (from A Kinder Gentler America) Lyrics

Thanks For The Letter (from A Kinder Gentler America) lyrics

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! 







[Chorus:] 



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!" 







[Chorus] 



Thanks for the letter that you sent 



Reminding me not to give in!
