Accident

Another song... This one's from a while ago.

The lyrics:

She's an accident waiting to happen,
Wants to rule the world.
She breaks and she begs and then bullies,
Wait until the disaster curls.

She looks up,
then looks down, but she
doesn't look side to side.
Now, look what she's done.
Look at the mess.
Watch as the cars collide.

He plays games,
and he goes to school, but he
doesn't play by the rules.
Now, look what he's done.
Look at the mess.
He's become ridicule.

He's an accident waiting to happen,
Wants to rule the world.
He breaks and he begs and then bullies,
Wait until the disaster curls.

We plant our bombs.
and we play with guns, but we
aren't helping anyone.
Now, look what we've done.
We've made a mess.
We're dying one by one.
We hurt our friends
and we hurt our souls, what is
this crazy goal?
Do we want to live?
Do we want to live?
We ain't got much time left to live.

We're an accident waiting to happen,
We want to rule the world.
We break and we beg and then bully,
Wait until our disaster curls.

I recorded this song with a microphone (I held it up to the speaker) and played it on repeat for 2 hours. And the best part, I didn't get bored once.
