World out of control on the evening news
We're all screwed up and psychologically bruised
Kids killing kids make society pay
Just blow up your school and have a nice day

It really, really bugs me, and it really, really bugs me
Live your life to the fullest and fuck everything

Does anything ever really get done?
Politicians talking through their assholes
Makes you really wanna go and kill someone

And there you have it. Each one of these is posted separately as well.
This was just a public service that I thought should be done. If you
liked these, please and go tab at least one song so that we'll all have
more to choose from. And I mean REAL music, please--NO LIFEHOUSE
OR DISTURBED OR THAT GROUP WHOSE NAME ESCAPES ME, BUT THEY JUST MAKE
REALLY LOUD, OBNOXIOUS MUSIC FOR NO REASON. THEY SING THAT SONG ABOUT
BODIES HITTING FLOORS. QUALITY-FUCKING-MUSIC-PLEASE! And NO FUCKING
NICKELBACK or PUDDLE OF MUDD, DAMNIT!
Thank you.
