Thanks for the Letter (From a Kinder, Gentler America) - Justin Sane

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!

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!»

Thanks for the letter that you sent
