Around the back of the building
There’s a group of teens getting high
There’s got to be a better way
To escape
In the parking lot
There’s two strangers making love
There’s got to be a better way
To release
Hiding in the library
There’s a student killing himself with his studies
There’s got to be a better way
To succeed
Sitting at the back of the classroom
There’s a girl hiding under a hood
There’s got to be a better way
To live
Somewhere in your neighborhood
There’s a school with screwed up kids
There’s got to be a better way
To grow up
