lyrics

you weren’t even eighteen when you were struck by lightning
sirens and high beams cut through the rain and the fog
and i read the stories about heatwaves in raleigh
on the front page for all to see, a decorated highway patrol

i’ve got school tomorrow but my friend is dead
i’ve got rules to follow but i ain’t following them
i’ve got school tomorrow but my friend ain’t gonna be there
so neither am i

neither am i
neither am i

you weren’t even eighteen when you became an idol
underclass disciples getting stoned under the bleachers in high school
and they weren’t even there to see the light running through you
they never even knew you, but then again neither, neither did

i’ve got school tomorrow but my friend is dead
i’ve got rules to follow but to hell with them
i’ve got school tomorrow but my friend ain’t gonna be there
so neither am i

neither am i
neither am i
neither am i
neither am i
