    CD: Pardon Our Appearance

    Lyrics
    It rained on our graduation day
    But you wouldn't remember much anyway
    Drunk on two bottles of cheap champagne
    You were hurling epithets at the rain

    And when they called your name to come on stage
    You flew into a drunken rage
    After grabbing your diploma from the dean
    You swung at him and made a scene

    Security wrestled you to the floor
    You threw up and ran laughing out the door

    chorus:
    It was the summer of '97
    These were our days of heaven
    It was the summer that would last forever
    We'd go our ways come September

    Spending our days working part-time jobs
    Staying up late, living like slobs
    Spending our nights drinking beers
    Living our lives without any cares

    Sex was casual but well-protected
    We were care-free yet still feared being infected

    (chorus)

    Film major went to Los Angeles
    Spends his time peddling Hollywood sleaze
    Ambition made him pompous and morose
    Last I heard, he had an overdose

    Poli Sci major went to DC
    Found a job working at a consultancy
    We knew she would never fail
    Now she's putting democracy up for sale

    (chorus)

    Now I spend my days
    Imagining the past that never existed
    In place of the future that I've resisted
    Back before our lives collapsed
    Under responsibility's weight
    As we succumbed to our parents' fate
    It rained on our graduation day
    But you wouldn't remember anyway
