LYRICS:
Can I Graduate,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
I've been living on for so long,

Can I Graduate,

To the bastard talking down to me,
Your whipping boy calamity,
Cross your fingers, I'm going to knock it all down,

Can I Graduate,

Echo fading, We can't let go,
She goes walking by in slow mo',
Sell your Heart out for a buck,
Go on, Fade out, Before I get stuck.

Talking to somebody like you,
Do you live the days you go through,
Will this song live on long after we do,

Can I Graduate.

Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street.
Won't die on the vine I want to knock it all down,

Can I Graduate,

Echo fading, Candle blow,
Did you flash out long ago,
Cross my fingers, I don't know someone poked you down below.

Can I Graduate,

Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
I'm not waiting here for you to die,
Will this song live on long after we do.
