Everyday

So I'm sitting by my locker when Danielle walks by
I can tell by her face that she's about to cry
So I catch up to her and say "what's wrong pretty lady?"
And she says "Oh nothing I just got to get ready
Summertime is coming and I need to shed a few pounds
So that I won't let my boy friend down
And as she headed to restroom I understood it all
And I said "Hold up, don't you go into that stall
How could you this? Take a look at yourself
I can see your ribs already this is bad for your health
You're better than this girl we both know that you're smart
Your boy's not after your body, he's after your heart
And if he isn't the oh well what kind of guy is he anyway
If he can't love you for you tell him to go away

I'm getting tired of all things
Caught up in our schools
Turning bad people into kings and queens
Turning good people into fools

Now in lunch, I see food being thrown at a kid
By a group of boys and girls and I wonder what he did
So I take my tray over and take a seat by his side
And catch him writing a note about his suicide
And as he hurries and hides it he looks at me guiltily
he says " Go away stop invading my privacy
I've been picked on enough I just want to be left alone
Nobody cares about me, they won't miss me when I'm gone"
I took a minute to digest all the words that he said
Then I yelled at him "Boy, what's wrong with your head?
There is so much more to life, high school's not what it's about
Besides suicide is taking the easy way out
Don't you know that they're just jealous of your life
Soon you'll be beating the stock market while they are beating their wives
How could you let them win at the game that they play
Just give it some time and your feelings will go away

I'm getting tired of all things
Caught up in our schools
Turning bad people into kings and queens
Turning good people into fools

Now I'm making this song as reassurance to you
That other people are experiencing the same troubles you do
Stand up for yourself don't let people tell you who you are
Set your own standards and I guarantee you'll go far
And live a happier life because you have your own identity
Being true to yourself and never surrendering
To anyone and everyone that stands in your way
Let them know that they can accept you or they can just go away

I'm getting tired of all things
Caught up in our schools
Turning bad people into kings and queens
Turning good people into fools
