THANKS FOR THE LETTER (FROM A KINDER, GENTLER AMERICA) Lyrics

Laying in my bed tonight - before i got myself up to write this song
2AM-paper/pen - contemplating
The struuggle we're engaged in - does anybody really even care?
But then I thought of your letter and I knew better!
So i'll do it again - yeah i'll sing it again
For my family, myself, my friends, THE KIDS!

Chorus;
Thanks for the letter that you sent
Reminding me not to give in!

"Dear Punk Rock Star,
I'm just kidding - but i like to call you that every now and then just for fun. I like your attitude, I like your songs, I've been a really big fan, since i can't remember when? See there are sometimes that i feel really alone, 'cause I don't really have any friends, and I don't fit in at school. The gym coach called me a "fag" in front of the entire class, so now everyone puts me down by saying i'm gay. But i don't care because I have nothing against homosexuals and the gym teacher is an asshole! I think the things you say are important! Thanks a lot! Keep fighting!"

Chorus(repeat)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
