A popular song in their live shows, “Graduate” (the verb, not the noun) eludes to the sensation we all desire at one point or another to transcend this feeling of wanting to be more than we currently are. Growing up. Graduating from play-pretend to making things happen.
[Intro: Stephan Jenkins]
Knock it all down!
Will the song live on long after we do?
Will the song live on?
Can I graduate?
[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
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
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
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 in 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
[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
Can I graduate?
[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
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?
Long after we do
