Can I graduate?

Can I graduate?
Can I look at 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 at 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 graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?

Can I get my punk-ass off the street?
Can I look in faces that I meet?
I'm not waiting here for you to die

Will this song live on long after we do?
