Song: Death of a Cheerleader
Album: MP3
Intro and Verses: (E )
Verse 1
She was so pretty everyone said
More so than pity that she was found dead
Now the flag only flies at fifty percent
In the school yard where she once went
Pre Chorus:
Push 'em back, Push 'em back
Way back, way back
B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
Chorus
And the Death of a Cheerleader
Takes me by surprise
How the death of a cheerleader
Can open eyes
Verse 2
Yellow carnations and roses galore
Were sent to the mother and placed by the door
At the spot where her daughter had taken her life
Was a sweet sixteen photo on homecoming night
Pre Chorus:
Push 'em back, Push 'em back
Way back, way back
B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
(A A/B)
Chorus
And the death of a cheerleader
Takes me by surprise
How the death of a cheerleader
Can 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
