The living dead(a song)

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I guess all I have to say is that Growing up is hard today Hating parents for force feeding you lies Breaking bottles for not getting  gigs Drinking like there's no end to help dissolve the pain of The closed hearted world in which we live Being punished for doing things your own way Beaten down by society It’s not your fault they’ve given up Just tell um all to fuck off Don’t even waste your time trying to open their minds through the closed eyes Too weak to keep fighting back and walk away w/ another bruise That’s ok, we’re all bleeding w/ you You just gotta keep going, keep going till u die Pushing on and on through the pain Gonna fry your brain trying to forget the past, its ok Everyone’s trying to escape where they come from It’s not your fault they’ve given up Just tell um all to fuck off Don’t even waste your time trying to open their minds through the closed eyes Too weak to keep fighting back and walk away w/ another bruise One day we’ll make it It’s not your fault they’ve given up Just tell um all to fuck off For now just be brave We’re all the living dead Written January 19th, 2002 © on Jan 19 2002 12:49 PM PST   20 • 0 • 10
