Beautiful

We were so tiny Happy and shiny Playing tag and getting chased Singing and clapping Laughing and napping Baking cookies, eating paste Then we got bigger That was the trigger Like the Huns invading Rome Welcome to my school This ain't no high school This is the Thunderdome Hold your breath and count the days We're graduating soon College will be paradise If I'm not dead by June But I know, I know Life can be beautiful I pray, I pray For a better way If we changed back then We could change again We can be beautiful Just not today Things will get better As soon as my letter Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown Wake from this coma Take my diploma Then I can blow this town Dream of ivy-covered walls And smoky french cafes Fight the urge to strike a match And set this dump a blaze But I know, I know, I know Life can be beautiful I pray, I pray, I pray For a better way We were kind before We can be kind once more We can be beautiful Just not today And I know, I know Life can be beautiful I pray, I pray For a better way We were kind before We can be kind once more We can be beautiful Just not today Why do they hate me? Why don't I fight back? Why do I act like such a creep? Why won't she date me? Why did I hit him? Why do I cry myself to sleep? Somebody hug me Somebody fix me Somebody save me Send me a sign, God Give me some hope here Something to live for Ah, Heather, Heather, and Heather I love Heather, Heather, and Heather And you know, you know, you know This could be beautiful Mascara, maybe some lip gloss And we're on our way Get this girl some blush And Heather, I need your brush Let's make me beautiful (Let's make her beautiful) (Let's make her beautiful) Beautiful Okay? (okay) Out of my way, geek I don't want trouble You're gonna die at 3 PM Don't you dare touch me Get away, pervert What did I ever do to them? Who could survive this? I can't escape this I think I'm dying And you know, you know, you know (ah) Life can be beautiful You hope, you dream you pray (ah) And you get your way Ask me how it feels (beautiful, ooh) Looking like hell on wheels (ooh-ooh) My God, it's beautiful (Beautiful) I might be beautiful (beautiful) And when you're beautiful It's a beautiful fricking day (Ah)
