Kira: September 1st, 2089. Dear Diary, I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone, but—here we are! First day of senior year! And uh... I look around at these kids that I've known all my life and I ask myself—what happened?
Garrison Kids: Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!
Kira: We were so tiny, happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased
Garrison Kids: Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!
Kira: Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste
Garrison Kids: Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!
Kira: Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome
Oh, sorry!
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
Garrison Kids: White trash!
Kira: My laboratory 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...
[A preppy stud knocks a hipster dork to the floor.]
Hipster Dork: OW!
Kira: Just not today
Hey, are you okay?
Hipster Dork: Get away, nerd!
Kira: Oh, alright, I guess.
Garrison Kids: Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!
Kira: Things will get better 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 cafés
[Kira jostles James Griffin.]
Griffin: Watch it!
Kira: Fight the urge to strike a match and SET THIS DUMP ABLAZE!
[Griffin upends Kira's lunch tray.]
Griffin: Ooooops.
Kira: James Griffin. Third year as an MFE pilot and eighth year of SMACKING LUNCH TRAYS and being a huge dick!
Griffin: What did you say to me, skank?
Kira: Yaahh, nothing!
But I know, I know...
Garrison Kids: I know, I know...
Kira: Life can be beautiful
Garrison Kids: Beautiful
Kira: I pray, I pray
Garrison Kids: I pray, I pray
Kira: For a better way
Garrison Kids: For a better way
Kira: We were kind before;
Garrison Kids: Oooh...
