rock

(chorus)
We're leavin' for the army never to return,
we'll fight back for our country no matter who we burn,
The terrorists can bomb us but they'll never learn,
so we're leaving for the army never to return,

(Verse)
We wanted to do something meaningful with our lives (with our lives)
And not be stuck inside some stuffy office (stuffy office)
We thought to fight for freedom (fight for freedom)
But freedom rarely ever comes from bloodshed (comes from bloodshed)

(chorus)
We're leavin' for the army never to return,
we'll fight back for our country no matter who we burn,
The terrorists can bomb us but they'll never learn,
so we're leaving for the army never to return,

(verse)
We're always told that death is just a beginning (just a beginning)
But everybody knows it's just the end (just the end)
We thought to fight for freedom (fight for freedom)
But we hardly ever stepped off the plane (into the rain)

(Bridge)
When I turn my back to leave

It's him or me
preemptive strikes
you save the trees
won't save a life
Burn the city
say it's for God
you won't feel pity
it's still for God.

We're all....
Dried leaves!
Crushed under the heel of society.
Robots!
Told what to think by corporations.
And Nature!
Is just an obstruction to progress.
And free thought!
stands in the way of everyone's profit!

(Guitar)

And now we see
the pain and strife
no one agrees
we pay the price
we want freedom
the give us none
we want wisdom
they cut and run

We're all....
Dried leaves!
Crushed under the heel of society.
Robots!
Told what to think by corporations.
And Nature!
Is an obstruction to progress.
And free thought!
stands in the way of everyone's profit!

We'll all die
alone
with no God above
We all sigh
as one
with no one to love
We all cry
and sigh
with no one to blame! (blame could work as a scream)

(guitar gets louder then fades away to complete silence)

We're all....

in his room
he lies face up
on the bed
his expression blank
staring at the ceiling.

there's an iPod
in his hand
headphones trailing out of it
and the ear buds in his ears

he's playing a sad song
one that reminds him
of times past
and one
that makes him long
for the future.

he can't take it anymore.

he switches the song
"Shut Me Up"
by Mindless Self Indulgence

he sits up
his hair
covering his eyes,
not intentionally
but because he hasn't cut it
for a while.

his head thrashing
along with the beat
the volume takes away
all the thoughts
feelings
he had
when the other song
was playing
making him numb again.

rock has that effect
on him.

Snap! I found this list of some of my amazing ideas for band names that I wrote in October. I've been looking for it since forever! ...or at least since the dread "Oregon Trip". This was the product of me being bored one day.
