Death of a cheerleader de Marcy Playground

She was so pretty, everyone said
the more so the pity, that she was found dead
now the flag only flies at 50%
in the schoolyard she once went
Push em back, push em back, way back, way back
b-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
And the death of a cheerleader
takes me by suprise
how the death of a cheerleader
can open eyes
Yellow carnations and roses galore
were sent to the mother and placed by the door
in the spot where her daughter had taken her life
was a sweet sixteen photo on homecoming nite.
Push em back, push em back, way back, way back
b-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
And the death of a cheerleader
takes me by suprise
how the death of a cheerleader
can open eyes
And its sad that she had to die
to open eyes
Nobody doubted her future was vast
nobody noticed she grew up so fast
its a shame that her future's a thing of the past
tomorrow's the funeral, you know
l-e-t-s g-o
