new kid Today there was a new kid (a new kid, a new kid) Today there was a new kid in town Today there was a new kid (a new kid, a new kid) Today there was a new kid in town Today there was a new kid in town So everybody made it impossible to fit him in Started at the bus stop -punishing him for some unforgivable sin So he learned to cope (somehow) instead of running away he'd stand there and hold his ground and it seemed to serve notice If you don't learn to swim you might as well learn to drown Today there was a new kid (a new kid, a new kid) Today there was a new kid in town so now we flash forward 7th grade finally making my way, i'm makin' some friends But when you pulled the rug out my trust in you came crashing to an end You were supposed to man up Supposed to be there when I got in trouble, but you never were I had to learn the hard way So I might of put a lot of that anger into her But today there is a new kid, a new kid Today there is a new kid in town (X2) I had to learn to assert myself pull myself out of that gutter and learn to move on It was a lot to deal with had to reinvent myself a whole new persona I was forced to grow up all alone in the world and I didn't know what to do Couldn't talk to anyone no one else to share what I was going through But today there is a new kid Today there is a new kid -a new kid -a new kid Today there is a new kid in town (X2) I had to learn a lesson stop blaming everyone else for what happened to me Started looking forward And i got a pretty good idea what I want to be so now they're all listening Suddenly thinking that I got something to say But I know how to play that tomorrow it's another new kid and another new day (repeat w/ chorus) Today there's a new kid a new kid a new kid Today there's a new kid in town (X2) Words and music by joe herbert 10-23-2010
