When we were younger
当我们还年轻的时候
We used to sit on my porch
我们常坐在门廊上
And talk smack about girls and professional sports
谈论女孩和职业体育的闲话
There's a lot of things that I wanted to say
有许多话我一直想说
But never got a chance to find a way
却从未找到机会表达
Take a good look at all of our high schools
仔细看看我们的高中
This is the first reason that I wanna write you
这是我想要写信给你的第一个原因
It must be tough when society is messed up
当社会一团糟时，生活一定很艰难
Gotta save money please don't take it out on us
请别把财政压力转嫁到我们身上
Do they even know
他们真的了解吗
Do they even know
他们真的了解吗
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
如果我有勇气，我会给总统写一封信
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
让他转交给国会的领导者们
But for now I won't say nothing
但现在我选择沉默
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
代表所有可能站在我立场上的孩子们
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
谁将这封信视为我们清白的声明
But for now I won't say nothing
但现在我选择沉默
Now that we're older
如今我们已长大
A brand new story unfolds
全新的故事正在展开
About God and the laws that we've always been told

There's a lot of things I wanted to say

But never got a chance to find a way

Same sex marriage in a state where they don't care

Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
谋杀是错的，但刑期并不公平
Not to mention date R**e felony and car theft
更别提约会**、重罪和汽车盗窃
Break it down and tell me what we got left
拆解一下，告诉我我们还剩下什么
Do they even know
他们真的了解吗
Do they even know
他们真的了解吗
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president

And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament

As for now I'll start with something

Take a good look at Tommy

He's a track star

A good role model has a chance to go real far

Then the school made a budget cut

Cut out the track team

Now instead Tommy is a crackhead
