Head Automatica - Graduation Day Lyrics






Smudged funnies in a broken bottle on the dot at nine
Daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove
I'm crying in the corner at five
Well I've seen black and I've seen blue but fine lines I don't see
And just because I am in misery
Don't mean a thing that I want to know
That I want to know

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

September
As far as she remember, they don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
Don't it mean a thing
Well she's seen love and she's faired war but fairness she can't see
And just because I am in misery
Don't it mean a thing that she wants to know
That she wants to know

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

That camaraderie's old
Doing what I'm told
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand
Everybody is dying for
That chance to be heard not ignored
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

I'm not going to school

Head Automatica Graduation Day Comments
  1. V.... G....

    SoCal Class of 06 here , what was once a bubbly celebratory song is now somber, as you ponder how the rest of your class went about their journey since graduating. Heck im sure I could've been more tactful. It goes so fast.. Jeez

  2. N.... ....

    The goth girl is running for president in 2020. This year i believe. Pause at 1:59

  3. S.... E....

    Took me 20 minutes to find this song and idk what made me remember it.

  4. L.... K....

    I found this with dante and dale 2006 rip dale man..

  5. k.... k....

    If Graduation Day was made in 1998
    If Graduation Day was made in 2001
    Graduation Day was released on June 6, 2006
    If Graduation Day was made in 2009
    If Graduation Day was made in 2014
    If Graduation Day was made in 2017, How would that have worked.
    Now, If Graduation Day was made in 2019, I WONDER how that would have worked?

  6. c.... b....

    I was class of 2006. This was always my favorite song from Head Automatica!

  7. F.... c....

    Glad this was a flop. A graduation song is never a good route to go.

  8. T.... T....

    class of 2007! This song came a year too early for me but still great!

  9. G.... A....

    I graduated high school in 2006!

  10. K.... N....

    2006!?!?!?! Geez, I was in sixth grade when this came out! D':
    Fuse was my jam, man.

  11. A.... H....

    Anyone else listening in 2019 :)

    A.... H....

    I’m here 😏

  12. S.... I....

    class of 18'

  13. D.... R....

    Hey what up? I'm here from Cleveland on July 30th, 2019! This song was an underrated emo anthem when I was 10 or 11! Bring back the OLD Rock n Fuckin Roll FUSE station

  14. J.... T....

    I'd pay almost any price to get to rewind to 06 , class of 2010 🤘🤘

  15. O.... T....

    Such a weird love/cringe nostalgia with this song. Also, does the lead singer ever blink? Its deeply unnerving.

  16. B.... ....

    There's this version and another one that's less polished. The simpler is seemingly hard to come by nowadays, but Daryl's vocals shined more. This one actually has greater power, though. Just a good fucking song either way

  17. F.... ....

    I graduate with my associates tomorrow.

  18. b.... ....

    i was in like 6th grade when this came out, fuse was a HUGE part of my childhood. I hated this song back then but now i’d give anything to pull up SURS or Dedicate Live or No. 1 Countdown and see this on tv. RIP fuse and i love all of you who enjoy those early 2000s with me 💜

  19. b.... ....

    Haven't heard this song since I was in high school and it just randomly crept into my mind.

  20. S.... B....

    Hello music

  21. R.... J....

    My high school diploma song

  22. B.... H....

    Its ladies night at the bar but she smokes a mans cigar.

  23. W.... M....

    Was this their most successful song?

  24. P.... ....

    Rip Fuse. I always wanted to grow up and dance my pants off

  25. J.... B....

    Should have graduated in 2006. The Army, flight school, 3 combat tours, marriage and 2 little girls later...it’s happening Spring 2019. Mission Accomplished haha

    J.... B....

    Good for you man. Did it happen like you hoped?

  26. M.... ....

    Saw this first time watching mtv and they had mini music videos during the credits before the next show would come on to highlight some not so known artists and this song came on and I was wow I liked it

  27. m.... ....

    I remember being in 8th grade when this song came out and wishing my middle school would play it at graduation lmao.

  28. S.... B....

    This was the very first video I ever watched on YouTube... seemed like so long ago

  29. a.... c....

    I THOUGHT GERARD WAY WAS IN THIS

  30. B.... H....

    It's ladies night at the bar but she smokes a mans cigar

  31. R.... ....

    I can count the pixels in this video.

  32. E.... R....

    Class of 2019 here.

  33. s.... ....

    13 years ago :( Class of 2006

  34. N.... 3....

    2018 anyone?

    N.... 3....

    Rene De Alva 2019! 💕

  35. L.... ....

    I remember listening to this song back in 2008 when I was a 911 Dispatcher and now everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of that time in my life. Now I'm doing even better in my new career...Class Of 2001🙏😇👍👌✌💙

  36. A.... '....

    First listened to this as a freshmen in school. I was seriously considering killing myself. 10 years later I am a successful business owner.

  37. R.... W....

    12 year old me loved this song and i still do

  38. J.... I....

    Simple Jack on bass...

  39. D.... M....

    Class of 2012 ! And I listened to this getting dressed for my graduation

  40. h.... ....

    Class of 2006! Man I remember this song came out when I graduated. Ahh the memories.

  41. q.... ....

    I first listened to this song when I was maybe 12-13, and couldn’t wait to play it on the day of my high school graduation. I played it then, and now in May I’m gonna play it again while graduating with my BS 🎓 ☺️

  42. R.... H....

    It shocks me these guys never made it. Both albums were really good.

    R.... H....

    They really are great albums. This is what popular music should be. This should have been played on every radio station constantly.

  43. d.... d....

    Thank god this video has resurfaced

  44. B.... B....

    It's so funny that now I listen to primarily rap but when I was around 12 I listened to Head Automatica faithfully but I still made it a point to listen to this on my graduation day this year June 9th!

  45. T.... ....

    It's 2017 I graduated in 2007 and yet I'm still in college still trying to finish my AA

  46. Z.... M....

    Not gay but got damn Daryl Palumbo has like the sexiest voice ever damn

  47. s.... ....

    So, everyone is happy and successful in their futures except for the blond chick who's now a pregnant single mother living in a burned down bus? That one always pissed me off.

    s.... ....

    sumchick345 Once a ho, always a ho

    s.... ....

    Is it because you see yourself as the blonde chick?

  48. J.... S....

    Highschool kids are mean. I felt so bad for the large chick at 1:25-1:32 and 2:05. She showed them in the end...

  49. s.... ....

    sigh SURS memories

  50. D.... ....

    You know you're old when the first time you watched this was on Steve's untitled rock show.

    D.... ....

    Del hahahah with that fucking couch 😂

    D.... ....

    You know you're old when you heard Daryl sing about leading whores to water.

    D.... ....

    ill second that ...

    D.... ....

    you know youre old when a 3 year old comment calls this song old

  51. p.... l....

    atleast that criminal graduated hahahaha

  52. M.... ....

    The year I graduated. :D

  53. m.... ....

    I remember listening to this 10 years ago like "fuck I can't wait to start middle school and high school so I can graduate it's gonna be awesome " well now graduated working 24/7 and college and it is not awesome

  54. j.... b....

    graduating tomorrow probably going to be wasted

  55. [.... ....

    c/O 2016 baby 10 years later and this song still rocks

    [.... ....

    [MADD]Scientist yes because its 2026 already!

  56. J.... L....

    Cold blooded cops came to the kids graduation to arrest him haha

  57. T.... D....

    The lyrics to this song dont make sense

    T.... D....

    +Tyler Durden After you, Mr. Durden.

    T.... D....

    Tyler Durden i love this song but i really want to know what the lyrics mean

  58. D.... ....

    Class of 2015 for me tomorrow. Man I can't believe I'm graduating tomorrow. 3 Years of university has flown by.

    D.... ....

    Before you know it ull be dead

  59. M.... M....

    Palumbo's courageous attempt to mellow down hehehe

  60. N.... ....

    sad thing,i dropped out few years back.

  61. D.... M....

    I would have been class of 2006 but my dumb ass dropped out. I'm doing good financially, but it's still a little thorn in my side. Especially whenever I see teens with backpacks. A book left open, never turned the page on that chapter. Never got that closure you know. Be a kid/teen as long as possible. You have the rest of you life to be an adult and it only gets harder. Enjoy that shit. I should have.

  62. W.... M....

    What happened to this band?

  63. B.... R....

    In 2006, I was 19 and just entered the university. I wanted to graduate and get a degree asap whenever I watched this music video on Fuse.
    In 2015, I am 28 and two weeks later I will obtain a degree in master.

    B.... R....

    your ignorance basically

    B.... R....

    123 456 I assume he's saying a master's degree? If not then correct me, don't act high and mighty

    B.... R....

    Damn 9 years to get a mastercard?

    B.... R....

    Damn 9 years to get a masterball?

    B.... R....

    That's so cool :)

  64. T.... C....

    I remember watching this video on Fuse :)

  65. k.... k....

    After the video and song was over; at 3:42, what's that at the end?

    k.... k....

    @ken karwoski same thing i was looking for!

  66. J.... V....

    This was filmed at my school! Loyola High School, Los Angeles CA. I graduated on that lawn (tears like waterfalls)

  67. d.... m....

    wow chills

  68. M.... M....

    This song came about around 2006 or so when I was heading into my senior year of high school. I love the depictions of the different futures in this video. They are most definitely true, and its been 7 years since I graduated HS. SO much time has passed, so many things have changed. So many people I saw for the final time that day and will never see them again. Just an incredible time. :)

  69. S.... ....

    I was in 7th grade when this song came out, and was my song for my 2012 Graduation ahh the memories

  90. M.... R....

  92. s.... ....

    class of 2012 seniors!!

  93. T.... ....

    You all must be democrats

  94. c.... t....

    smarcel1, travel with me through the mists of time, to a time 2000 yrs ago, to a place that doesn't matter. the first year in the AD calendar was 1. there was no year Zero. so (if you can count with me) 1 is the 1st year, 2 is the 2nd year, 3 is the 3rd....... year 10 would be the 10th yr. This means year 11 is the 1st yr of the next decade. stay in school

  95. E.... J....

    @smarcel1 well if the decade starts in 2010 then the first class of the new decade would be the class of 2010 dumbfuck....its like im surrounded by fucking retards

  96. T.... ....

    He said FIRST class of the NEW decade idiots!

  97. T.... ....

    @edj2010 He said FIRST class of the NEW decade. Whose the idiot now?

  98. E.... J....

    @RapRnB4u According to the dictionary......Decade: a period of ten years beginning with a year whose last digit is zero: the decade of the 1980s.

    so is 2011's last digit a 0? oh no its a 1!!.......so would that mean the decade starts in 2010?? it must! OMG who knew!

    you and your "12 thumbs up" can go ahead and think your right but the dictionary disagrees
