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
be -E A-G-G-are-E-S-S-I-V-E
And the death of a cheerleader
Takes me by surprise
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
be -E A-G-G-are-E-S-S-I-V-E
And the death of a cheerleader
Takes me by surprise
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
