She's out of school again
But she won't be calling from where she is going
the lines are jammed this time
what could a girl like her need with a slacker like me

If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation

So I'm going on tour with the band
She said "stay for the summer" but she don't understand
That the radio plays what they want you to hear
and I want them to play you your love song this year

If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation
The cameras are flashing
Her black robe is passing
and there I am chilled to my bones
This is the year my girlfirends leaving home

She'll probably end up with a frat guy
She'll probably get pinned while I sleep in the van
I'm sure she'll be home for thanksgiving
I'll send her a picture of me making out with a fan.... And.....


If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation
The cameras are flashing
Her black robe is passing
and there I am chilled to my bones

This is the year my girlfirends leaving
this is the year my girlfriends leaving
this is the year my girlfriends leaving
home

    General Comment:wow. andrew mcmahon, lyrical GENUIS, wrote a dumbass song like this. it's funny, but from someone who wrote the piece of art that is konstantine. but then again, he also wrote if u c jordan, which is a pretty easy song, so i guess this works.
    I LOVE YOU ANDREW

    General Comment:Ah, I remember the early days, I have heard this song live. I remember, they never played it after 9/11. Sad, this was one of the best songs, always made me smile. Either way, I can play it, and have been playing it with my band, Factory 5, at shows locally. If I ever get a hold of him I will ask if I can put it on an album, because I think we do pretty well, for my guessing on how to play it.

    General Comment:Hi, I'm andy's cousin. He thought of the song during the graduation of one of our other cousins. There were so many people there that andy said "If i was a terrorist id bomb a graduation" (pre 9-11). Also pomp and circumstance kept being played over and over again, which was quite irritating....

    General Comment:I may have been the reason that SOmething Corporate doesnt sing this song anymore. I called Andrew on 9-11 to see if they had left for NYC where they were to play a show on 9-15. Thank god they hadnt. So we were chatting and Im all "hey Drew, you know you cant sing Terrorist anymore" . A pause.... Then i heard "FUCK, GUYS we cant play terrorist anymore cuz of this shit." I havent heard it since. It was almost gonna be on Audioboxer but Walking By edged it out. hopefully we can get over the terrorist bullshit and they will play it again cuz i heard it a half dozen times or so and it was by far their funniest song.
